In late May, I was fortunate enough to be invited to give a reading with Annie Lighthart at Daedalus Books in NW Portland, a marvelous bookstore owned by Jeremy Breedlove. Jeremy and the lovely Zosia Wiatr (who works there) had Carla Girard of Mercuria Press create a letterpress broadside for the occasion. The letterpress broadside is in a limited edition of 50, and Daedalus Books is offering a few of them for sale.

Wild Age Press, www.wildagepress.com, an independent literary publisher, is proud to announce SALT. This single poem by OPA member Laura LeHew is about wounds visible and invisible, about illusion and disillusion, about running into truth. The poem is presented as a 6 1/2” x 8” broadsheet printed on high-quality 120 lb paper accompanied by a 4 oz. glass bottle of lemon verbena bath salts. An excerpt from SALT (all rights reserved): “in the end they retrieve their parent’s guns barrels on tongues pull the triggers salt dries the cells until they are dead”
