Key and Other Poems
Lost beauty found a way home. 

Key and Other Poems is a uniquely crafted hard-cover that embodies transformation. It sits in the poetry section of your favourite book shop, but opens to reveal a world of illustrated colour as well as words. It's written in three acts - from the second act, there is change.

 

Inspired by a poet and therapist's battle with addiction, Key seamlessly blends hand-typewritten poems with vibrant illustrations, reflecting moments of quiet beauty amongst the struggle of overcoming adversity.

Under a bright dust jacket, the hardcover is a treasure - gold foil-embossed, with every attention to detail. Each page was hand-formatted for lithographic scan, and art-print. If you'd like to drift away from the digital, and be reminded of special care in book-binding - it's for you.

About

Storytelling is essential. It is how we share feeling.

We hunted and gathered, then sat round a fire to share what we had, and what had happened. Come and sit round the fire.

Layerjam is an art production house from James E. Kenward, that seeks to captivate and inspire, in pursuit of togetherness and shared feeling.  We deliver through a diverse array of mediums, blending independent creations with collaborative efforts. ​​Our producers, writers, musicians and filmmakers are also therapists, yogis, neuroscientists, psychologists and teachers.​​​

Key and Other Poems

Key and Other Poems is more than a book; it is an invitation to embark on a transformative artistic journey. What began as stories of intertwined lives in verse, has blossomed into a rich, multi-sensory experience. Select pieces have transcended the page, re-imagined through short films, musical compositions, and live performances that bring the words to life in unexpected and breathtaking ways. Immerse yourself in this evolving tapestry of art, and let your journey begin.
