Printed on a 1950’s era Vandercook 325G manual press

To celebrate the publishing of my dad’s second book of poetry, we collaborated on a letterpress-printed broadside of “Shipyard Aubade,” one of his most tactile and visual poems. Using my recently acquired letterpress skills, I designed and printed a limited run of broadsides featuring my dad’s illustration (of an Atlantic Herring) and words. Surface Fugue by Ralph Sneeden is available now.
