Aidan Koch blurs the boundaries of comics, poetry and fine art in this collection of four short stories, illustrated with watercolours, gouache, pencils, pastels and collage. Koch explores themes of our connection to nature in all four stories, including my favourite, "Man Made Lake," which has an absolutely stunning first page spread.

"Spiral," the first story, is the longest, examining a fading friendship in juxtaposition with examining the place where two rivers join together. Koch is brilliant at using negative space and colours to give shifting sense of space and time. The only issue I had was how difficult it was to read Koch's lettering. While the way it was lettered casually like a sketchbook did contribute to the atmosphere, it pulled me out of it to have to squint to make out some words.
