A Pocket Book of
Forms
The book was printed by
the author at Penland School of Crafts. The text is set in Bembo and
Twentieth Century, with hand-drawn headings, and printed on Legion Bamboo paper,
with covers in Canson Mi-Teintes. The standard edition offers three cover
options: pink, brown, or blue. The fancy edition has orange covers, hot-pink title text overlaid with
faux gold leaf, and hot-pink lokta endpapers. It includes a bookcloth slipcover
for safekeeping. Both editions are pamphlet stitched, with rounded corners.
“This book is the best reason to
go out and buy anything with pockets—especially if you are a poet. Elegantly
designed and printed, it is a portable prompt and expander of your repertoire
of poetic forms.”
—Thomas Cable, author of A History of the English
Language

ReplyDeletePositively Baggins-ish!
DeleteIf at some future point, my nephew will be requried to carry this book to the mouth of a volcano, I will want my money back!
DeletePerhaps he will only have to carry it to a sweet, flowery meadow! With a few stray spiders...
DeleteVery pleased that a few writers ordered a copy today! Thank you.
