Book cover of American Odysseys: Writings by New Americans, an anthology of 22 novelists, poets and short story writers. "The title is printed on a pencil which is then inserted into a die-cut in the cover, yet remains fully removable. The pencil was chosen as a symbol of the writer and of the writing process; for many it's the first introduction to creating letters, words and, later, sentences. The stories are of a personal nature and the intimate quality of the pencil seemed the perfect complement."
