CLIENT: POET CHLOE YELENA MILLER

Chloe contacted me in the months leading up to the release of her collection of poems, Perforated (Lily Poetry Review Books, 2026), to create some swag for her upcoming book release and associated events. There was no shortage of inspiration amongst her poems, and we created an old jar with lentils to represent some themes throughout the work. Both pieces were created as companion pieces to the book, which was designed in house at Lily Poetry Review Books.
