Woodbird Jazzophone,
a poem in 3 parts.
Bound with a snazzy-looking jacket of handmade lokti tree paper. It even
smells interesting, like olive oil and wet tree bark. You can't hold
a web site in your hand - how much nicer for a poem to exist as an artifact.
Inamorata by Greg Hall.
Bound in nautical blue, fog-grey and sea green, long and lean, fresh from
the inexplicable pen of Greg Hall, who definitely knows the way to San Jose

Prayers are Better Sung, by Rhiannon Dickerson, rising star of Missouri, shooting star of L.A., wandering star of America's highways, falling star of who knows where next. - excerpt. -
Hummingbird Conditions, Esther Kamkar.
I asked Esther if I could reprint her amazing book the first time I heard her read. She had just
published it but it was quite expensive. Now, though she still has the first edition, handmade,
letterpress, on fine paper, you can also get the 5 dollar edition from Tollbooth Press. Poetry to the people! The woodcuts are by Barbara Leventhal-Stern.
