Isn't it gorgeous!
The cover features a wonderful artwork by Michael Hight, which was especially painted for this book. I've just added a page for The Baker's Thumbprint, so you can go there to find out more about the collection, and about Paula: http://www.seraphpress.co.nz/the-bakers-thumbprint.html. There's also a sneak preview of a few poems from the book.
The Baker's Thumbprint is going off to print next week, and will be all ready for us to launch it at the Auckland Writers and Readers Festival, on Saturday 18 March, from 1.15 to 2.15, at Q Theatre, 305 Queen Street. Invitations will be forthcoming closer to the time (and also to the second launch we're planning to have in Wellington later in May), but all are welcome. Unfortunately the book launches don't seem to be included in the listings on the website, but you'll find them in the front of the print booklet.
Immediately after the launch, you'll also want to see Paula introducing the Poets Aplenty event later on that Saturday afternoon, which features Fleur Adcock, John Newton and Maris O'Rourke (2:30 to 3:15 in the Limelight Room, Aotea Centre).
