Thirst by Paulann Petersen and Barbara MasonDark River of Stars is a collaborative artist book by three Northwest artists: Oregon Poet Laureate, Paulann Petersen; printmaker, Barbara Mason; and bookbinder, Laurie Weiss. Poems collected in this volume were gifts the poet sent out individually each Valentines Day to friends and family over a period of nine years. The books title is taken from a line in one of the poems; its a metaphor for a signature, for the uniqueness of each human sensibility.
