Flare is the culminating project of the 2007-2008 collaborative Artist and Poet in Residence Program sponsored by the Yale University Art Gallery & Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University. The book includes new poems by Cole Swensen and new prints by Thomas Nozkowski. The poet and illustrator visited Yale together on several occasions to work on this project, influencing one another's artistic process and completed work, and the book reflects the makers' creative conversation and collaboration.--Publisher description.
