Yesterday was amazing. Up at 7, sun all day, talking with a past love about the beautiful times we spent together, and learning to letterpress - finally. It's really ridiculous that I haven't been properly trained before now, it's such a "me" art form - teenie pieces/meticulous design/metal&wood/etc. I'm in love. Expect so many projects. For my first go I did one of my micropoem Working Definitions in a deep brown ink.

4" Working Definitions (for those, like me, who like miniature things). This one's by the lovely Gabriel Don. Want the full 6" version with definition on the front? Those are available too. ;)

Justin Sherwood

POEM

Biblical exegesis in which I smash  the heads of the next  generation's children  against the stones. Where  I don’t find meaning  I find myself  reproduced in quivering  tide pools, however  shallow. I come to the coast (all civilizations do)  seeking my future.  I find instead  only my likeness  will float.

  Justin Sherwood holds an MFA in creative writing from The New School, where he was selected for the 2012 Paul Violi Prize in Poetry. His writing has appeared in elimae, The Poetry Project Newsletter, and Construction magazine.

Nadine Sierra Opera Embroidery - A Midsummer Night's Dream

Though my press/Etsy shop is primarily poetry-focused, I couldn’t help embroidering some of today’s most heart-stopping up-and-coming young classical singers as well. Nadine Sierra is amazeballs, and, lucky for me, is also basically my sister. Check out the embroidery here, and watch this clip of her below performing Caro nome in Florida Grand Opera's 2011 production of Rigoletto.

Lisa Marie Basile

When I see Alejandro I do not wear shoes.  Because the sand is soft and the soft is always expanding and he likes to look at me! me flickering through all of his rooms, watering his garden, wearing aprons and reading books I do not understand. I cannot trust myself with books. Books with words: Even Eden was tainted.      No one means to carry their burdens      to good places. If I wear shoes it will compel me to leave so I stay down like a sea without nerve or hunger and I  speak in tongues things of obedience, things of sex in the morning while Spain watches and sometimes I think she judges me, Spain, she is a woman who knows about being conquered and conquering and Alejandro says I am partial to my madness, that I ought to make him lemon water and make him love, We condemn our palaces, I say. I am drugged by moon shine and sea-salt. Your eyes are bloodshot, he says. Sleep. Before I sleep, I ask, where am I? Andalucía. Bad girls go to Andalucía.
