You see a tall, narrow sheet covered in Russian words and jagged shapes—some look like horns, others like lightning bolts. This isn’t just a book cover; it’s a poster for a poetry book called *The Martians’ Trumpet*. The poets wrote in wild, made-up words, and the design tries to match that energy. The letters twist and shout like the poems inside. To see more pages like this, look up lithography.
