Liz Suburbia

The book cover of "Sacred Heart" by Liz Suburbia features a title that become part of the image. The stem of the letter 's' and the flags of the two 'r's in the title have been extended to form the lines that define road boundaries. A tearful girl stands in the middle of the road, facing a town in the distance, with her head turned over her shoulder, toward us. In the distance, the sun has dropped behind the trees. Power lines streak across the sky above them. Night is descending.
