ON COVER
The concept behind the cover illustration “Field of Opportunities” is inspired by the Japanese collaborative poetry genre called “Renga.” This practice is linked poetry in the form of a tanka or series of tank, with the first three lines composed by one person and the second two by another. Effective collaboration yields to something new. Each team member (Shanette Washington, Joanna Franklin, Jeanette Robinson, Emerald McIntyre, Srdjan Marjanovic) has ownership over the same concept, bringing a valuable set of perspectives and skills to the group, and yet each person is willing to merge individual ideas into bigger ones.
