Having honed her craft over the years, and devising an Instagram-friendly approach that represents an innovative, 21st-Century update on the classic four-panel daily newspaper comicstrip, Madeleine Jubilee Saito has, in this 180-page, full color, smyth sewn hardcover, adapted her practice to a long form poem-prayer of a graphic novel.
It has some fans:
“Madeleine Jubilee Saito has given us a singular gift. At once gentle and piercing, spare and profound, her artistry breaks open hearts, releasing rivers of love for what is — and grief for what is already lost." — Naomi Klein"Using a sort of visual 4/4 time signature, Madeleine Jubilee Saito's You Are a Sacred Place is a heartfelt song about the state of our planet. In gentle watercolors and sparse colors, Saito sings to us about love, loss, hope, and our need for one another." — Aidan Koch,
"A series of perfect four-panel comics that build toward something vast and beautiful." — Andrew White
