Amy Pirkle: "Hands features a poem written by my twin sister, Sara Hughes. It was originally titled 'My Twin Sister in the Print Shop,' and is an excerpt from a longer poem. The first line states 'Our hands are matching origami kites.' The poem considers one struggle that all artists face, and especially one that she and I often contemplate: 'the grief, the prayers that any of this matters.' The pop-up kites that represent us, so boldly colorful and prominent at the beginning of the book, begin to grow smaller and fade away as the poem continues."
