Boats and Bits
Today I’ve got the second of two colours to handprint on the jacket of John Terpstra’s new book Skin Boat. Local illustrator and calligrapher Jack McMaster did the water pattern, as well as an illustration for the frontispiece (the guts of the book are printed offset). The type is Jim Rimmer’s Amethyst. The paper is Domtar’s feltweave. Printed letterpress, the white lines of the waves seem to rise above the paper.
I’m still working away, botanizing wild local letterforms – fontanizing? I’m planning to give a talk called Wild Local Letterforms: A Taxonomy," at our annual wayzgoose and open house, to be held this year on Saturday October 24. More on that later. For now, B is for … well, many things.

Gaspereau Press in the Wild West
Gaspereau Press authors are almost always out and about somewhere, but recently they've been making their presence particularly known in Saskatchewan.
The Saskatoon Public Library Board announced that Anne Simpson will be their 2009-2010 Writer in Residence. Anne will be spending the year in Saskatoon, splitting her time between her own writing and her work for the library. Anne usually calls Antigonish, Nova Scotia, home and that's where she set her recent collection of essays, The Marram Grass: Poetry & Otherness. For more information about Anne's residency, read about it at the Saskatoon Public Library's website.
Carmine Starnino was in Saskatoon last week for a reading at the local McNally Robinson. He read from his new collection of poetry, This Way Out. Photos of the evening by Jennifer Varkonyi are posted below.
Two Gaspereau Press authors will be participating Moosejaw's Festival of Words this weekend: John Terpstra and Thomas Wharton. You can find out about their readings on the festival schedule. Information about Thomas Wharton's The Logogryph is on our website, where you can also find information about John Terpstra's forthcoming title, Skin Boat: Acts of faith and other navigations.
