Circumference by S. Billie Mandle is a meditation on the light and atmosphere that imbues the corner of Emily Dickinson's bedroom where she wrote her poems. This book contemplates the spirit that lingers in a single place.
Delicate pink vellum encases the sewn softcover book, reminiscent in shape and size of a poetry chapbook. A poem by Emily Dickinson accompanies the imagery.

Stellar Skytron by S. Billie Mandle combines the deeply human wonder of new motherhood, with the mechanization of childbirth. As the surgical lights that Mandle’s child was born under swirl out and multiply over the page, we are reminded of the cosmic beauty that exists in contradictions and new life.
