NEW RELEASE

I am pleased to announce my latest release titled The Rose Garden. It focuses on the death of a friend and what followed. The story is told in an epistolary form made up of writings, drawings, photographs, and more. This book is meant to be handled, with interactive elements that invite the reader to explore the narrative at their own pace. Its contents were created, printed, and put together by me. Making each by hand was taxing but seemed a necessary aspect of the project.

The Rose Garden was a long time in the making. I tried putting together earlier versions of it that did not seem accomplish what I wanted. This is more thorough and feels better to me. The writing was done over the past few years. I printed and assembled the book while at an artist residency at Rathaus Press.
