Original drawings and paintings atop outtakes, trials, and misprints from one folio from The Circular Ruins. This book was created while watching shock & awe unfold on the television screen at the beginning of the invasion of Iraq in 2003. It has been revisited, renewed and re-covered over the past several months as the events in the middle east serve as a reminder that while so much has changed, so much has also stayed the same.
