Part coincidence and part inspiration following Jeremy Abel’s lead, I am also impressed by the cover art of a book.
La Saint-Jean by Jules Breton
I found that on the cover of Kimmy Sophia Brown’s collection of poems The Time Signature of Night. The title poem is written for that painting.
I often skim but don’t always read the acknowledgment section of a book. But man, Brown might have the best one I’ve ever seen:
I thank every person, every dog, cat, horse, cow, sheep, goat, pig, squirrel, chipmunk, vole, mole, dragonfly, mouse, whale, dolphin, jellyfish, roly-poly, bird, tree, flower, weed, vegetable, mineral, and stink bug l ever met or saw, and everything and everyone else too. I love you all.
I thank the most gracious and loving unseen helpers, the nature spirits and fairies, and the beautiful, sweet, divine Creator who thought of everything first.
