A grainy background of McHugh's It Looks Like A Man cover; only blue can be seen. On a flat piece of paper with a torn bottom edge are the words: "Approaching McHugh's poems can be like stepping through Alice's looking glass. The surface is seldom what it seems. The poet's penchant for puns, free association, made-up or deconstructed words, fragmented expressions, and anagrams keeps the reader off-kilter. Sometimes the surface inscrutability, wordplay and enigmatic turns of thought make the experience more like solving a cryptic puzzle. It is true that to engage with McHugh's poems is to make a date with surprise." — Lorna Knowles Blake, The Hudson Review. The author's name is in a gray-blue rectangle with round edges.
