The Art of Escape - Paperback

The art of escape is all about survival...with a flourish of style.
Trier Ward is an artist working in both style and substance. She is a survivor and a first hand witness.
A mother.
A lover.
A dream and a regret in the same flash of experience.
A deviant and a world unto herself.
A woman, and so, a master at the art of survival.

She's always had a key or two purloined and hidden away, and she reveals them in this collection.
Join the poet as she opens her heart and speaks through the wind, down dead-end roads and through bedroom windows,

This collection from Albuquerque, New Mexico Indie press Hercules Publishing isn't only a testament of one woman's perennial state of escape and renewal, it also shares the songs of the sirens out there, calling to each of us, through the canyons and coastlines of life, even when the calls are coming from inside our own hearts.
Maybe then, especially.

Ohio artist Taryann Di'Nnovati's illustrations pay homage to the world and wonder of actual, literal, escape artists through the years and provide a powerful compliment and connection to Ward's masterful confessional poetics..

Trier Ward's experiences will resonate with any reader, with any survivor, with any escape artist.
