I have been collecting craft essays since September 2020. It was my pandemic project and is becoming a fantastic online gallery. This is a phenomenal collection that current leading artists speak their thoughts of their creative processes. This is so unique because this is different from journal & magazine publishing. This is more personal and something fantastic is starting. Welcome to Working on Gallery!

I have never had this many stars, even I was in an elementary school.
This is the strangest feeling to describe - - I was already looking forward to the next summer when the last one ended. But once I am in the sun again, I feel like, "Oh, summer" - - then my eyes soak in the sunshine and I slowly feel, "Oh, that was what I was waiting for so long!"

This delayed realization is exactly how I feel about "GLYPH: Graphic Poetry = Trans. Sensory".

The book was officially released from Tupelo Press on June 1st. It is now available from independent book stores, and will be available soon from Amazon and large distributors by the end of June.

About one week has passed since the book came out. Pre-order and exclusive poets, writers, and artists received them, and shared the kindest words with me.

When I received boxes of my books in the end of May, I was unexpectedly calm. I was chilling with it as if it was just another day - - but not. I know that it is hard to publish a book. It takes a tremendous amount of time & effort after trying, failing, learning, and fighting with my ego.

Many, MANY people are involved from day one of GLYPH: Graphic Poetry = Trans. Sensory Project. They supported me in difficult times and when I was discouraged by rejections. They also shared my happiest moments with me.

When I hold the book, this is not the end. Like a wedding ceremony, the commitment starts now. I will own this project and support the poetry & graphic/visual poetry communities with my experience and gained knowledge.

This is a photo I created, but the KUNSTMATRIX is fun to explore.
One cool announcement: Tupelo Press set up an online exhibition at the KUNSTMATRIX. Please visit whenever you have a chance.
