What's new?
Some weeks ago, Sarah Mangold emailed me to say that she and her friend Maryrose Larkin (FLASH+CARD) were going to be publishing chapbooks and might I be interested in doing one with them? (I'd just ordered Maryrose's Whimsy Daybook as a gift for my friend Ginny, whose 90th birthday was approaching, partly because G had recently told me, "When you're 90, you have to plan ahead.") I was (am) working on a chapbook for Lame House, but I wondered if I could do some other kind of project with FLASH+CARD. Postcards maybe?
Postcards sounded good to Maryrose & Sarah, but for various reasons we eventually settled on notecards, black & white, text & image. In the process of making the images and narrowing to 12, I came up with a set of 5 that didn't seem to belong (partly because they so belonged to each other)--those (called "Story") ended up in Fascicle 3.
It looks like the notecards will be available for purchase online by the time I make it to Portland (where Maryrose is). Open Books (in Seattle, where Sarah is) will also be carrying them.

The set is called In Paradise there is no art.
