This deeply inspiring boekie arrived from Marie in the winter. It means a lot to me on many levels. I don't know whether others received and blogged a version of Musical Tinkle, but here is what I was lucky to receive: …

I have seen--it seems--some rather amazing poetry included on this site and inclusive of many mail art pieces recently.  It does my heart good.  Poetry has saved my soul many times over.  And though I shant wish to proselytize poetry upon any of the masses that define themselves as verbal art-agnostic, I would like to celebrate a recent mailing from Japan that might make you see the light.  You might find yourself verse-converted...…

"A Circle" is a poetic and very beautiful book sent by Marie: 

This book is a thought-provoking reminder that it was Marie's work I first saw the day I stumbled into IUOMA over a year ago. It was in a blog by Thom Courcelle, and her work…

After a lot of sweating and swearing and dozens of needle pokes, I finally finished Boekie 1. I know there are several architectural mistakes, but hey, it's the first one, and I quite like it. It will contain Cheryl Penn's correspondence. I now need to (slowly) tackle Boekie 2 for other received mail.
