Luminice Press: "'Two Moons' is a 24-page artist book contrasting our serene moon, Earth's lunar companion, with the fiery, volcanic Io, one of the four moons of Jupiter discovered by Galileo in 1610. Its modified dos-a-dos binding contains a literal window between the two sides of the book, which serves as their shared back cover. "The side of the book on Earth's moon is illustrated in cool blues, grays and black, and features seven impressionistic Japanese haiku and tanka that were written between the 7th and 18th centuries. The text on the Io side of the book focuses on the scientific data crucial to advancing knowledge of this distant body. The images, starting in tones of black and gray, continue to intensify in color, ultimately depicting the bright reds and yellows of Io's fiery landscape." Luminice Press, Poets quoted on the Earth's moon side of "Two Moons": Issa (1763 - 1827) Japan. One of the most loved poets in the haiku tradition.; Buson (1716-1783) Japan. A noted painter, he wrote visually intense poems.; Saigyo (1118 - 1190) Japan. An originator of Zen nature poetry.; Kakinomoto no Hitomaro (622 - 710) Japan. His grave is considered a holy place; Murasaki Shikibu (973 - 1014) Japan. Her "Tale of Genji" is a literary classic.
