25 years ago Bernadette Mayer’s Sonnets were published in a run of 1,000 copies and quickly went out of print. Sonnets continues to be loved and taught as an underground classic, often on sunbleached photocopy. Finally in 2014 Tender Buttons Press publishes an expanded 25th Anniversary Edition of Sonnets. To celebrate, this teaching guide with the first review of Sonnets from Poetry Flash, and an expanded version of Bernadette Mayer’s Experiments along with a sampling of responses in answer to her call: “Please add to this list.” Now even more poets, students, parents, scholars, pets and aliens can write poems after reading Bernadette Mayer’s Experiments.

Maureen Thorson on Jean Donnelly's Green Oil
"A fact can’t perform the moral labor of communication; it does not inflect or change to accommodate either listener or speaker. To paraphrase Weyl, the outside world doesn’t happen: it just is. But as for us? Donnelly seems to say, we’re all *in* this together. Massey’s speaker grapples with facing up to himself in the world; Donnelly asks us to face up to one another." (From Thorson’s review.)

Super Fierce French Style Laying Press
It took almost a year, made over two countries, England and Singapore, and now it is complete. My very own French style laying press. Though all laying presses comes with a wheel, we wanted something that would shout out more, that gave a statement, that a bookbinder does not have to have boring equipment, and decided that a skull would be a very fierce addition to the handle of the laying press. Made entirely by hand by Louis of kjung woodworking. The wonderful press is now on display and use (by me), at Keepers until mid November.
Thank you, Louis, for building me this one of a kind, extremely fierce, laying press. Now I can strut my bookbinding in style!
