If you want to give me a topic to discuss or say anything at all, please Send me an e-mail. If you request it, I'll write it. Or head to Joseph Carlough on Myspace and do it that way. The new fashioned way.
I added the bookbinding workshop I’m giving next weekend, and information on the Scranton Zine Fest, which K and I will be tabling at on June 9th! If you’re in or around Scranton, PA, make sure you come out for it, I’ll have a LOT of new, interesting things - even some design projects and posters!
I’m selling this blank journal I bound out of a Series of Unfortunate Events book. It’s really neat, and sturdily made, and has 160 blank inner pages. Hooray!
Go HERE.
I just got this as Etsy feedback. I AM a legend, aren’t I?
Halloa, everyone! Did a ton of printing this morning…well, no, not a ton, but I printed a few extra copies of Dark Nature, which I haven’t printed in awhile. Tossed ‘em up on my Etsy shop. I spent like 4 months working on these 5 poems and 1 essay. You should get one today, you won’t be disappointed!
Here’s one of the poems:
Rafflesia Avifauna
The plumes of a lamented chickadee
mottled, though bright, are
a shade of alabaster,
He will not sing
I bend to the bird on the ground, wishing to
cradle his pygmy, mangled body,
Tug at the fledgling and find
roots already crept into his bones
His body nurses a nosegay that blooms
a bouquet through his chickadee skeleton
the pollen, treacly, dizzies my head
I leave him to the florets
Spendin’ the whole night printing and binding. Orders sent out tomorrow [hopefully! (I’m lookin’ at you, Susan!)]!
Tomorrow, Black Friday. Two things.
1: Record Store Day 2. Not very interested in what’s coming out, although, love the idea of the Iron and Wine release. Maaaaybe I’ll try it.
2: Bookbinding. I have a ton of great looking old books that I’d like to put together!
