This weekend is Kraftbomb at Grey Lynn Community Centre, I'll have some new Tiny Title books made from ephemera collected on my poetic journey to America recently. They're called Yoo Ess Aye Tiny Titles and contain poetry written when I was on the trip or soon afterward.
The blog about my travels is here, http://poeticjourneytoamerica.blogspot.co.nz/ including a certificate to show I bought trees to cover the carbon cost of my enjoyment, seeing friends and discovering the stunning U S A. I went to Hawaii, San Francisco, Seattle, Iowa, Chicago and New York, after cruising to Tahiti from Auckland, Aotearoa, NZ. A boat uses less carbon per person than a plane. I took mainly trains across the mainland for the same reason, also, it's great to see the country you're travelling through by rail.
Also, some of the Family of Artist books with CDs which brightspark books published just before I left are in my crafty suitcase to bring to the market.
