Letting 2021

edition of 25

Letting it go. Letting it be. Letting good things in. Letting bad shit out. Letting yourself feel it all. This poetry book is a reflection on healing as a nonlinear process.

This pamphlet stitch artist book was printed via letterpress on a 9x13 Kelsey Excelsior platen press in my home studio. The paper is Arches Cover stock (cover), Japanese mulberry paper (end sheet) and Coco Ribless paper from the Philippines (text block). Typefaces are Lydian and Univers, with woodblock dandelion bits sprinkled throughout. Between a simple black cover is a whole world of textures, tones, and poetry.
