I recently created the cover for The Unexploded Ordnance Bin, Rebecca Foust’s new book of poetry chronicling significant challenges facing young people today. I chose to use scratch art, a technique often associated with children, first laying down brightly colored shapes with crayons and then applying a coat of black tempera paint. I scratched through the paint to reveal the colors below. The letters were made with a military font stencil to reference the title, a place where authorities store undetonated explosives.
