Spaniel Rage #[nn]

Vanessa Davis's Spaniel Rage bursts onto the page with a cover full of kinetic energy — three young women and a man caught mid-dance, surrounded by jagged lightning bolts and floating musical notes, with "cheri" emblazoned across one dancer's blue shirt. Davis's loose, warm painting style gives the scene an intimate, diary-like feel that's entirely her own. Published by Buenaventura Press in 2005, this collection showcases Davis's singular voice as both artist and storyteller.
