MOON DRUNK, poems in slipcase, made with @FrenchPaperCo Paper, view 2

]]> This collection was a special gift to certain participants of "The State of the Book," a day-long literary symposium in Ann Arbor on October 6th co-hosted by Fiction Writers Review and The University of Michigan's MFA Program in creative writing. FWR and several other Michigan non-profit organizations competed in "The Great Write Off," a fundraising write-a-thon in the days leading up to the State of the Book (Oct 3-5), and participants will have the opportunity to win copies of this poem.

The slipcase was made from Dur-O-Tone Steel Gray, and the poems are printed on Construction Grout Gray. The paper was made by the French Paper Company in Niles, Michigan.

100 slipcased copies were made for this numbered edition.

And open edition of the poems, without slipcase, was available at the event.
