Sympathetic Nervous System by Jackie Clark was the second chapbook in the 2015–2016 series. It was published in a handmade edition of 100 copies, followed by a digital release. It will also eventually appear in the second volume of our chapbook compilation, BOUND.
Meeting the formatting challenges of Jackie’s gorgeous poems required us to go with a wide trim size and generous spacing. To maintain a comfortable reading experience for a book with a twenty-inch wingspan, we opted for a flexible interior booklet, removable from its protective slipcase, which serves as the book’s front and back covers.
