Layers- Leah Macdonald -Art II Reception

Leah Macdonald presents a new series that looks at how images build, recall, and shift through work across photography, printmaking, and encaustic wax. Each piece develops through layered collage, with images added, hidden, revised, and moved so no layer stays permanent. Techniques change from one layer to the next, with painting and photography trading roles and placement to unsettle hierarchy and expectation. Using photographs featuring women, horses, and flowers, the compositions linger between presence and disappearance. The encaustic surface preserves even as it conceals, letting fragments emerge while others fade. By accumulating layers rather than resolving them, the series engages questions of identity, strength, and vulnerability, and meaning arises not from any single image but from the tension and conversation among them.

Michael Trammell w/ Chiefs

Professor Michael Trammell joins publisher Jay Snodgrass for a conversation about Chiefs, his new novel that blends rich humor with epic scope.

With Burt Reynolds as a companion figure, the journey invites readers to consider what is real and what feels ghostly. Trammell lives in the Florida panhandle and teaches at Florida State University. His publications include the novel Rad Sick Record, the poetry collection Our Keen Blue House, and the textbook Business Communication Everywhere, with additional work appearing in New Letters, Pleiades, and G.W. Review. He has taught technical writing and professional speaking for over 25 years, serves as an associate editor for the Apalachee Review, and frequently teaches summer courses abroad in London, Florence, or Valencia. Chiefs has been praised by Timothy Daniel Welch, author of Odd Bloom Seen from Space and winner of the Iowa Poetry Prize.
