Production Notes

Sacramento-poet/journalist Rachel Savage has organized a poetry reading for May 1st at the Sacramento Old City Cemetery. When PFA originally published her Savage Haiku (PFA #258) Rachel and I decided to leave out the haiku poem Cemetery so that we could make a special booklet (PFA #313) to be given away at the May 1st event. Printed on high gloss paper, it unfolds without a cover to showcase the haiku, a small essay on the Old City Cemetery, as well as miniaturized reproductions of rubbings that Rachel took from stone surfaces within the cemetery. After Rachel came by the bookstore yesterday to tweak the essay text, I finished production and printed out 100 copies of PFA #313. As per the Cemetery Association’s request, the booklets won’t be folded. They plan to laminate and distribute like a bookmark. Also in production for this event are copies of Dictionary: G (PFA #210) by Pearl Stein Selinsky who is also a featured reader at the May 1st cemetary event.
