Isabella Poulos 
In the Dust of Shadows 

In the Dust of Shadows encapsulates the truly unique voice of author, Isabella Poulos, as each poem personifies an object, emotion, or idea. Every poem is paired with one of the authors original creature drawings that, in themselves, tells a story. This book encapsulates the beauty of everyday things and offers a deep perspective as to the significance of miniscule moments and the life that lies within each object, even those that are inanimate. Isabella Poulos carefully presents her poems with their mirror drawing to engage all the senses and offer a visual representation of the emotion behind each piece of writing.
