Sancti Clandestini – Undercover Saints.
There are official Patron Saints of wax-melters, truss makers, lumberjacks, Florentine cheese merchants and disappointing children. This book proposes some alternative, imaginary saints, including the Patron Saints of liars, looters, rank outsiders, compulsive hoarders, old dogs and infidel girls.
These undercover Patron Saints are sumptuously illustrated by the staff and students of Middlesex University’s BA Illustration course, from famous and established artists to emerging talents.
“If the proof of a poem is in the richness of response it provokes, the illustrations here are that response made visible – a testimony to the subtle layers in this tender but incisive poetry. They are also delights in themselves.” Philip Gross
Sorry, Sancti Clandestini is sold out.
