Inspired by Scrabble, seven sorts were drawn from a hellbox and corresponding letters keyed into an anagram app. Two results were chosen, plus a word it didn’t know. 15-line wood type printed for the Chance Operations Print Exchange, Ladies of Letterpress Conference, The University of Utah, 2025

A university library that wanted to purchase my Vandercook book required me to sign a vendor form containing a clause certifying that my company does not participate in the restrictions stipulated in the screenshot. As a matter of ethics and conscience, I will not sign any such document for any one.

Baggage math hurts my head

Received this charming little chapbook by my friend Steve Blakeslee. His best short-form poems are comparable to those of William Carlos Williams and Richard Brautigan. I was delighted to see that it was designed by my friend @sherwoodpress.bsky.social Well done, greeners Omnia Extares!

On press on this gloomy day.

I will post about letterpress topics soonish. Some prints will be decidedly leftist. Bots and onlyfans fuck off.
