Wortis, Cole, and Levy's Art and Poetry e-Chapbook Release

Half Day Moon Press' exciting new e-chapbook release Meeting / Listening / Gallivanting (HDMP 15) is a collaborative work featuring artwork by Joan Wortis and Don Cole alongside John Levy's textual counterparts to the art. The synergy between visuals and verse owes to the long-time friendship of the Tucson-based Levy, author of 56 poems: selected and new (Shearsman Books, 2023), and the long-established artists Wortis and Cole, who share a studio on Vashon Island in Puget Sound. Levy and Cole previously released a collaborative work in 2016 titled float among what sails & spirals (Dovadola Press and Artxchange Gallery). A public reading at the Vashon Center of the Arts in 2016 is captured on video together with Cole's visual pieces. The following pages come from the Cole-and-Levy section of Meeting / Listening / Gallivanting:

Notes:

This digital chapbook comes in two versions. The first offers a default full-spread view of each visual textual pairing. The second has single-page view (best if set in your pdf reader of choice to double-page view with the first page beginning on the right).
