WAY IN
ONE PLACE

AI Interpretation
This cover page frames the collection as movement held inside a single fixed condition.
Even as a title page, it states one of the manuscript's core tensions: travel and stasis occupying the same phrase.
The cover, broken across three lines as 'ON YOUR / WAY IN / ONE PLACE.' The line break itself enacts the title's paradox: 'WAY IN' hangs alone before 'ONE PLACE' lands, so motion is arrested mid-phrase. The book announces that all its travel - Pittsburgh, Italy, Oregon, tundra - will be the same standing-still.
