graphic-style book cover with "Rae Armantrout" in burnt-orange block text at the top, "Go Figure" in larger black block text below, patrially obscured by a line-drawing of a larger wind turbine that's front & center of the cover. Smaller line-drawings of turbines are in the background at about the center horizon line, sitting on a darker blue area. The background is sky blue for the top 1/4 of the cover, and the bottom 3/4 are divided somewhat evenly between burnt orange towards the middle, and darker blue towards the bottom. Abstract, graphic-style squares in various shades of blue and white are lined up along the bottom 1/4 of the cover, giving the impression of buildings.
