With the tactile feel of a poetry book and the image quality of an art book, Letters to the Muse brings together Toni’s visual art and writing for the first time.

This book takes an honest journey through the creative process; how it feels to follow the Muse’s siren call while also trying to live a human life. It takes a trait that could either be bravery or folly, leading to treasure or ruin, but the Muse calls on regardless, and the art is made, in the hope that something that might connect with someone else.
