"When, three years ago, Julia Duclos created stunning illustrations for a book of mine, I could tell that she was a fine artist. What I didn't know then is that she's also a gifted writer in her own right. Her book Espresso 5 includes short, haiku-like poems that surprise a reader, yet instantly ring true!" — Lawrence Weinstein, Author of Grammar for a Full Life
"Julia offers a window into her creative process, capturing it into fleeting images and words that flow, taking us along for the ride. An artist creates new worlds, sure, but more importantly, allows us to see our own world through a different lens, showing angles we haven't even considered before. The book is filled with sketches that, instead of exposing the everyday life, dresses it into a haze, turning it magical and giving it new dimensions.(...) " Daniduc / NL
"It’s a beautiful book that should be bought in paperback because it belongs in the real physical world." - Rick J. / DE
Espresso 5: Notes of Blue' is a soulful poetry chapbook. The artworks and words are authentic, raw and seem to come from a place of love. There are intriguing dreamy artworks that are stunning, paired with short relevant lines of poetry, which makes this book a great read! A dairy-style art and poetry book! It is definitely worth it! - HighVibe / US
