This is a simple, clean cover with big, bold letters. The word "VISUAL" is at the top, split into two lines. Below it, smaller text reads "eight lithographs by John E. Dowell Jr." Then, the word "POEMS" appears in large, uneven letters at the bottom. The background is plain white, and the text is black. The cover suggests this is a mix of art and writing—images paired with poems. The uneven letters for "POEMS" give it a handmade, slightly rough feel. Look up lithography to see how this kind of printmaking works.
