The fort gondo and 100 Boots poetry series are featured in the exhibition “Literary St. Louis” at Washington University’s Olin Library. The show, which was organized by poet and postdoctoral fellow Ashley Colley, situates the two series within a brief history of the city’s literary culture, and includes broadsides produced for them by our many amazing print collaborators.

Poem after Eva Lundsager's paintings
I was honored to have been invited by the brilliant painter Eva Lundsager to write a poem in response to her work for a small group exhibition taking place at the upstate New York venue Merge, from August 24 - September 16, 2024. The show includes work by Eva, Patricia Sonnino and Janine Wong and is accompanied by three limited-edition zines focused on each artist, featuring essays by curator Yutong Shi and poems by myself and two other poets.
fort gondo's poetry broadsides, artist books, zines and ephemera acquired by local and national archives
While I was director, fort gondo produced an extensive publication series that included poetry broadsides (which accompanied the fort gondo poetry series), two limited-edition artist books, and a series of artist-designed zines, along with an array of other artist-created ephemera such as posters, postcards and fliers. After the space’s permanent closure in 2017, I was proud to be able to place the space’s full archive in Washington University’s Special Collections, and its zine series in the collections of the St. Louis Public Library, the Denver Zine Library (Denver, CO), and Pratt Institute’s Special Collections (New York, NY).
