Cover Reveal for Howling Bird Press Book

submitted by cihlar@augsburg.edu

Howling Bird Press is pleased to reveal the cover design for our forthcoming memoir “Self, Divided,” by John Medeiros! Noted author Brian Malloy says “‘Self, Divided’ is an immersive journey to the self’s ‘true north’ against the backdrop of identical twinship, growing up working class, coming out, and living with HIV/AIDS. Captivating not only for Medeiros’s evocative lyricism, but also for his original and imaginative use of narrative space, his quest to create an identity all his own is a sad, funny, and memorable story of growth against the odds, written in the language of hard-won victory.”
