Several chapbook interiors are arranged in a fanned out stack, showing the colophon page. Each is numbered by hand and a linocut stamp of our logo bee has been applied at the bottom center. To the left, a woman’s hand holds the stamp, carved in pink speedy-carve material and affixed to a wine cork handle.
The concept sketch for the cover of Dear Elsie / Seltzer by Nicole Steinberg. The actual cover will be a hand-printed linocut, with characteristic carving marks. The background is pale pink, with magenta lettering for the author name and wavy title. Light blue seltzer bubbles float behind the text.
A finished copy of If Your Lungs Are Skyed Make the Scar Song Echo Until All the Winged Things Bleed Your Poetry, a chapbook by Steven Karl, sitting on stacks of unbound interior pages. Three pink zinnias and white hand-carved text are printed on dark seedling green card stock.
Two copies of three tides by Pattie McCarthy, lying next to each other on an acacia wood surface. The chapbooks are 5 x 5 inches square, with multicolored patterns of seaweeds in olive green, ochre yellow, plum, and burnt sienna. The title and author name are printed in hand-cut serif lettering and dark olive green ink. Around the chapbooks sit a couple of beach stones and a piece of driftwood.
Three copies of I Prefer The Forests Making Blankets of Themselves by CAConrad, lying on the branches of an evergreen tree in a triangular formation. The monotype covers feature gold-to-green gradients and darker green horizontal stripes in the shape of one of the poems, as well as black hand-carved linocut lettering.
Two copies of Fog by Dakotah Jennifer overlapping on a black gridded cutting mat. The hand-printed linocut cover design consists of white curved lines in a wavelike vertical pattern on a light blue-gray background. Dark blue lettering spells out the title and author name in the lower center. Next to the books are some binding tools: a spool of linen thread, a pair of black scissors, and a wooden-handled awl.
A copy of the chapbook Miedo al Olvido by Ana Hurtado, including multicolored ripe mangos and dark green leaves in a hand-printed linocut pattern, and text in black ink.
I Want You to Come Now! by Kristina Lugn, translated by Elizabeth Clark Wessel. Several chapbooks are arranged in a spiraling stack, shown from above, on a black gridded cutting mat. In the upper right an unfolded cover is partially shown.
Three copies of Victoria by Douglas Piccinnini. The hand-printed linocut cover design consists of a gray house in a gradient green landscape, with gray title and author name lettering. The chapbooks are fanned out on a black gridded cutting mat, with a pile of string in the upper left, and a wooden-handled awl in the upper right.
Linocut print cover of Rat Queen by Katie Jean Shinkle, printed in gold metallic ink on cream cardstock. To the right sits the linocut block, with the image—a large crown and rat tail descending from the Q in the title—in reverse.
A copy of a simple verb by JJ Rowan on a black gridded cutting mat. The hand-printed linocut cover design is made up of two large yellow semicircles and a large lavender open oval, overlapping. Red lettering spells out the title and author’s name.
All six chapbooks, arranged in a three-by-three grid on a woven rug. The covers are colorfully printed by hand from hand-carved linocut blocks.
A drawing of 4 chapbooks in pink, yellow, green, and lavender on a a blue background. The line work is in white pencil, with a sketchbook look. Lettering on each specifies the authors. Little captions say “Wow” and “Not yet in existence!” and “Chabooks of the future!” In the center a larger headline says “Coming Soonish (in 2023).”
