Some Vegetable Sacrifice - Paperback

R. Scott Yarbrough has combined his talents as poet and as painter to produce a truly unusual book of art and poetry. The poems are lyric in that they deal with personal emotional experiences and conditions and do so with masterfully blended images and sounds. The paintings comment upon the poems in surprising ways using images, lines, and colors created with an unusual artistic medium: fingernail polish. In a charming introduction, Yarbrough explains why he chose thus to experiment with nail polish as well as how he resolved some problems using it. The book is moving and delightful to read and wonderful to examine.
