Some kind of feral joy.

Creating +woodfireearthmetalwater+

My debut poetry booklet.

I still am searching for the best description of making it.

But that’s the best for now.

(Hello and thanks Maggie Rogers).

Being capable to hold an idea.

Bringing together the parts needed to create it.

Patience to hear it out.

Designing, compiling, assembling, constructing.

Testing.

A little more testing.

And one final test.

Then it is what it is.

Letting it go.

Free to be.

Howling out, jovial, not caring who hears or responds.

A release.

I have experienced this feeling slightly with creating a song with friends, tying materials to make flies in order to coax and catch fish, fabricating parts to fix mechanical quandaries, growing plants for my garden designs, and now making my first poetry booklet to convey my feelings.

And I can say that this is the most fulfilling.

Every step of this booklet had input and involvement from *only me.

From the picture taking *(well a couple are Chlo’s photographs of me).

Of course living the life and being able to write the poems it is all based around.

Computer key punching for layout and software operation.

To the printing on a laser jet printer.

Finalized by my hands creasing the folds and pinching the binding.

The tinniest snippet of my year in retrospect.

Truly a work of love.

And guess what?

I CAN PRINT AS MANY AS I LIKE SO IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE IT, YOU CAN MAKE INQUIRES TO PURCHASE SOME! Not looking to get rich off anyone, ever. Just looking to spread the creativity, keep the momentum, and break even on supplies/time to create more.

Happy to mail them, meet up in person, or do tradesies!
