Forthcoming April 7: CREATURE FEATURE by DEAN YOUNG For this #coverfeature, Dobby Gibson and Matt Hart, friends of DEAN YOUNG, take us behind the cover art of YOUNG'S first posthumous collection:

The book cover for Creature Feature. Text reads "Forthcoming April 7"

Text reads: “Matt Hart and I found this collage among Dean’s things while cleaning out his apartment in the days after he died. . . . We knew instantly we held the book cover in our hands. We began to imagine the creature prowling all the way around the spine—as big, gorgeous, playful, and dangerous as the poems inside.” —Dobby Gibson
