Cover of Calvin Seerveld's "Rainbows for the Fallen World" showing a table with some paper with writing on it, a cut-out of a rainbow behind a geranium. It's supposed to suggest aesthetic beauty.
Sorry - it's all text. If you want to hear the poem, got to the Thomas Lux page of the Poetry Foundation.
The cover of Sir Thomas Malory's "Le Morte D'Arthur," volume 1. It's got a Medieval picture of two knights jousting on a green field surrounded by men at arms waiting their turn. Pretty cool!
Cover of the book "The Pop Culture Parent," which is very colorful and has stuff on it like a game controller, a dragon, a film reel, a heart, a hand...it's a good cover.
The cover of Cornelius Van Til's book "Christian Apologetics." It's kind of a boring cover; you're not missing much.
The cover of Paul Ricoeur's book of philosophy/literary criticism, Time and Narrative, volume 1. The cover itself is just a drawing of brown hills in light and shadow, suggesting a whole hilly landscape.

Poster for the game "No Man's Sky" featuring red grass, a sleek starship, and strange alien animals. Cool game.
