Jeff Clark at Publisher’s Weekly

cr-53-23-cover.jpg

This week’s Publisher’s Weekly turns a wel­come spot­light on Jeff Clark, the designer respon­si­ble for some of the truly remark­able book covers that have appeared over the last few years, from Matthew Rohrer’s Rise Up (Wave Books) to Hannah Weiner’s Open House (Ken­ning Edi­tions) to Jonathan Bate’s biog­ra­phy and selected poems of John Clare (FSG). Jeff’s work is every­where these days; besides being design direc­tor for Flood Edi­tions—which has not one but two books of poetry up for an NBCC award this year—he designs for Ahsahta Press, Wave Books, and Essay Press, among many others. He also designed every Chicago Review cover between the Ed Dorn spe­cial issue (50:2/3/4) and our latest issue (53:2/3).
