Sisypha Larvata Prodeat : (Sisypha Wearing A Mask Advances)

This poetry collection was first published in 1987 when Jan Cole lived and worked in San Francisco, but the poems were written over the course of many years, beginning with her time in university at the Newcomb College of Tulane University and at the Sorbonne.

Many of the poems are set in the town of Huntsville, Texas, (where Jan was raised and lived until her passing in the summer of 2019).

Still others reference friends Jan knew and worked with around the world.

This edition features the striking art of Mexican artist, Adelina Moya and Chinese translations by Angela Liu.

Finally, the project would never have taken place if not for the editorial oversight of Lorrie Lo Wagamon.
