A collaboration in abstract painting and poetry.

Over the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, a poet/curator and a painter correspond in their own mediums, developing a conversation across space and time during lockdown. Part monograph, part poetry collection, Letters Apart presents unusual events of language and a progression of abstracted imagery. In this beautiful and intimate book, personal memories, early Expressionism, lightness and darkness, fear and flights of fancy coexist.

In these beautifully rendered vignettes Ed Schad's observations and associations feel their way across Liat Yossifor's opaque, luscious surfaces. The result is a profound experiment in ekphrasis, where words shimmer against images, like air against water.—Jarrett Earnest, author of What It Means to Write About Art: Interviews with Art Critics and winner of the 2021 Dorothea and Leo Rabkin Prize
