Buy stamps, send mail, be of good cheer

You are old, Father William...
The press is great fun, also for generating collage material.

If you were to receive a zine in the mail, randomly, without requesting it, how would you feel?

In bits and pieces

Well, it is the start of Year Four of The Metamer Quarterly. From inside the paused NY state, I am trying out the Vandercook Proof Press that we brought from Colorado, and trying to restart the Metamer. For now, I am circling. Making 6 x 6 squares as an exercise in discipline.

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!)
