Breathless is the word to describe my response to this gorgeous #poetry book by Gillian Sze. Absolutely beautiful. I especially appreciate the segment of the book dedicated to ekphrastic #poems - a specialty of Gillian's. Publisher is @ecwpress.bsky.social

Poetry book entitled "Panicle" by Gillian Sze. Cover is bright yellow with close-up imagery to the left of the cover of an autumn plant that is dry, with its dark brown seeds scattered over the white font title text "Panicle." The author's name is the same font colour as the dried plant.
