A simple image collage vertically juxtaposes an image of the "Replica" book jacket with a sunny headshot of author Lisa Low. The jacket cover on the left has a tan-colored background and features a small, jade green-tinted illustration (by Yuqing Zhu) of an Asian woman's head that is bisected at the mouth to reveal the white and blue porcelain of fine china. The title "REPLICA" appears in thin white lettering underneath this illustration. In the photo of Low on the right, she wears a black-and-white patterned turtleneck jacket and stands outside against flowering plants and trees behind her. Low looks directly at the camera and smiles slightly.

Moving from childhood to adulthood, the author’s new poetry collection confronts and reconciles expectations in order to live authentically.

The white chapbook book jacket for "Boy Apparition" is centered on a slate grey background. The title appears in huge vertically spaced black font, while much smaller font subtitle in the upper left and lower right corners reads "a travelogue of atemporal genders" horizontally. The author's name, mk zariel, also appears horizontally.

mk zariel’s chapbook coaxes us to the edges of our imaginations, and is infused with the undercurrent of love that is necessary to keep going.

A simple image includes two movie posters: one in the Spanish language on the left for "Hasta Cierto Punto," released in 1983, and one in English on the right for "Lucía," released in 1968. The left poster is rather minimalist in black and white with a bird flying in the center. The tagline above it reads "Si yo quisiera podria cortarle las alas pero no podria volar y lo que yo amo es el pajaro." The right poster renders the title LUCIA in a large font along with three women in pretty psychedelic-era colors like orange, green, maroon, blue, and blue on a bright yellow background. The tagline of "The Cuban epic of love & revolution" appears towards the bottom.
