REMEMBER: This Thursday is LetterFest. We'll be outside and on the ground, so try not to wear your finery. The big pencil will make its first public appearance. We'll have the concrete letters and also some other letter-based activities.
Here is a great short essay about historical chapbooks: Noah Eli Gordon on Chapbooks
Each of you will make a CHAPBOOK in an edition of 20. If you know how to make your 20 copies before class starts, go for it. If you want to wait to do it at the start of class, that's fine also. Here's what you'll need: 7 or 8 mini-pages (approx. 3"x4") cut out and ready to paste into the form (a blank page of 8.5"x 11"). It is almost always better to use typography rather than hand-writing (unless the handwriting has a conceptual underpinning in the text itself). Use drawings, photographs, diagrams, anything in your layouts and spreads. We'll meet in the library at 3:15. Come earlier and get started if you can.
