The Divers: Hurst Street Press

Editorial design and illustrations for a poetry collection. Published by Hurst Street Press in 2016, The Divers is a debut collection of poetry by Arabella Currie. Arabella's background in Classics is interwoven through her poems, both explicitly in her translation ‘exercises’, and implicitly in her choice of image and metre. This lends the poems a timelessness that draws the ancient world onto the contemporary political stage. ​ I worked on the design and the illustrations, including a letterpress block for the inside cover and a map which was included as a pull out in the centre of the book.
