The gorgeous cover of American Massif with a black and white photo of Theo Jansen's Siamesis 2010 sculpture made of PVC, tie wrap, plastic and dracon. I think it looks like the frame of a house flying apart into the sky and also that straw tail in the book's epigraph.A page of poetry from American Massif by Nicholas Regiacorte with the lines "the awful innocence of that/ fleeing soul// that single line."
