The book YAPPO, the first collaboration between the illustrator and academic Iro Tsavala and the author Henry Martin, tells the story of a nameless, mostly silent man, who protects a small plant as he walks through the wilderness. During his travels, the man meets a milliner, a butcher, a dog, and a mermaid, each of whom requests a leaf from his plant. The man refuses to comply, muttering “Yappo.” How will his journey end?

As part of this project, the exhibition, “YAPPO,” SAID THE MAN, at the Poetry Society presents Iro Tsavala’s earthy, timeless illustrations inspired by the Scottish Highlands, alongside new prints and objects.
