A light skinned hand holds up a copy of Black Flame by Gretchen Felker-Martin. On the cover, a pale person with short black hair and film coming out of their mouth and wrapping their neck. Black tears fall out of eyes that are all pale yellow. The yellow of the eyes is shiny and raised above the page, as are the title (white and blue iridescent?, wavy thin letters) and author name. The rest of the cover is matte. The printmaker behind this is an artist. Anyway, that's the picture.

Both images were created by Sasha Huber, who printed the daguerreotypes (in which Renty and Delia are nude) on wood and covered their undressed bodies in meticulous staple art.

"Life" is in a different font and color than the rest of the sentence.
