¶ Aperture: Poems for Josef Sudek is a chapbook written in response to the photography of Josef Sudek (1896-1976), a neo-romantic photographer who captured the beauty of Prague, interiors, still lifes, and Bohemian forests in black-and-white. Twelve photographs are reproduced with permission from the Art Gallery of Ontario. The cover is letterpress printed on hand-made paper, and the interior photographs and text are printed offset on bright white paper. Hand-sewn with black thread in a limited edition of 125.
… she gently turns over an event, an idea, a piece of art or a word in her hand like you would an apple, to admire its beauty, to anticipate its taste, to follow its poetic possibilities. ❧ Al Rempel, ARC Poetry Magazine
