Join us on Saturday, June 13, at 4pm for the launch of TEARS ARE EVERYWHERE, the debut book from artist and author Kira Lynn Cain.

Existing within its own teary universe, Tears Are Everywhere offers the concision of a children's book, the visual and tactile pleasures of an art monograph, and the interpretative contemplation of abstract art, all in one hardcover volume written and illustrated by artist and author Kira Lynn Cain. Immersive and minimal at once, Tears is a textural story, an invitation to a curious world, and an art book for all ages. Cain uses distinct mark-making and poetic language to share a new concept of what tears might be. This book, while informed by philosophy and contemporary art, takes its own idiosyncratic approach to tears, proving their ubiquity and tender power.

Tears Are Everywhere is published by Portland's own Buckman Publishing.

Free and open to all.
