The Metamer Quarterly Can Count

 I've begun a new collaboration, with a friend from long ago. It involves numbers, the Basque language, and collage. Our first project is a children's book we began in the last century, in fact. It will be available for purchase in the next few weeks, at Barbot Etchepare Basque Imports. https://basqueimports.com/shop/ols/categories/books
The author, Begoña Echeverria, is a writer, singer, educator, and all around energetically lovely person who teaches at UC Riverside. This is a fine summary of her activities: https://profiles.ucr.edu/b.echeverria

She has come up with a name for our collaboration, and I have typeset it. We are *BegoLara*

TMQ at Spring Writes Literary Festival in Ithaca, NY

The Metamer Quarterly is on the road again, headed to Ithaca, NY, on Sunday, May 5th, to lead a workshop with Kate Blackwood, frequent contributor and collaborator.

11:00am - 12:00pm @ Tompkins Center for History & Culture, 2nd Floor Conference Room **

Workshop: Book + Art: Make a book and write a poem to go inside

A workshop for those who love to write and make things. Write an original poem or flash story following an in-workshop prompt, or revise a piece of writing you've already started. Then make a book using one of three simple techniques. Formats will be appropriate for beginners, but interesting enough for pros! The final step is to place your writing in your book and take it with you: a new, complete piece of literary art. It's a done-in-a-day version of the artist's book project The Metamer Quarterly lead by the Metamer's founder, artist Lara Scott, and a frequent contributor, writer Kate Blackwood. All book-making materials will be provided. You just bring the words. (**For workshops in the 2nd floor conference room, we ask that you arrive a few minutes early to ensure we have enough seating for all participants!)
