It took some doing, and several false starts, almost right but not quite images, but at long last we've got the cover nailed, I believe, for my chapbook, due out next month from New Michigan Press. Here it is.

This is a very beautiful cover. Can't wait to read your chapbook. Congratulations!
The image is a North Atlantic pelagic jellyfish. Ander Monson, editor of NMP, did the design but I found the image, which was an ordeal of clicking through a couple thousand pics, probably. I'm super pleased.
