En Face marks the third collaboration between poet Charles North and painter Trevor Winkfield. It is comprised of eight of North’s poems and six of Winkfield’s color images. “Rather than illustrate Charles’s poems,” Winkfield has said, “I wanted my images to act as their accompaniment, my hope being not to overwhelm the words, but literally to stand beside them, en face, as poems and their translations often do.”
