Letting.
Letting.
Letting it go. Letting it be. Letting good things in. Letting bad shit out. Letting myself feel it all. I was not done letting. This book is a release of old poems and new ones. One poem may seem angry, defeated, the other empowered, and back again. Healing is really not a linear process, and neither is this small collection.
This book was printed via letterpress (9x13 Kelsey Excelsior) on handmade paper and bound by hand. The paper was made in France (cover), Japan (end sheet) and the Philippines (text block). Typefaces used are Lydian and Univers, with woodblock dandelion bits sprinkled throughout. Between a simple black cover is a whole world of textures, tones, and poetry longing to be touched and read. Each copy comes with a mix CD of songs that kept me company in the studio while working on this piece.
