A book that demonstrates the progression of time

Given the prompt “a book that demonstrates the progression of time,” Molly Brooks made a carousel book in a tribute to Doctor Who. She says “i did digital drawings of each actor that had portrayed him at time of binding (10), each paired with an image of the evolving interior of his spaceship. the blue hard-case is debossed to resemble the exterior of the spaceship, a blue phonebox.” Here’s the book. See more of Molly’s book work here. {First seen here.}

The Poem Store

Verse, and more, are for sale at the Poem Store by Deborah Netburn in the LA TimesMy sister sent me a lovely article from the LA Times about a woman who writes poetry at the Hollywood Farmer’s Market. It reads in part (the rest is here).

Jacqueline Suskin sits like an old-fashioned secretary between a lemonade stand and two guys selling hummus at the Hollywood Farmers Market. A sea-green typewriter rests on the tiny wooden table in front of her. Scotch-taped to the table is a letter-pressed sign that reads:

Your Subject Your Price.

…
Over the course of this morning, Suskin will write about “Seizures as Spiritual Portals” for a 50-year-old fashion designer. She’ll write a poem on “Wedding Planners” for a soon-to-be bride and a poem on “Back Pain” for the fiance. And for a lithe young woman in short jean shorts and an embroidered top, she’ll compose verse on “New Beginnings,” just a few weeks after she wrote her a poem on “New Love.”
