One Of A Kind Books

Here is a selection of new one of a kind books. Each book is made of original paintings or monoprints by Claribel. The covers are also original paintings. Some have a poem by Don Skiles or myself on the title page.

Winter Oak

Winter oak
sleeps now deep
in snow
Soon, it will spring
green
be mighty
in soft summer breezes
sigh its memories


Don Skiles


Tugboat

Tugboats are a special breed.
Stout of heart, broad of beam
they accomplish so much
with a friendly nudge.

A tugboat is brave
and sure of itself–
they never look back or worry
about how big the next ship will be.

The work is hard,
the weather often dreary
but they never relent
or turn away.

I was a tugboat
for many years
so I say this
with conviction.

Exhibit at Bucknell University

As I stated in an earlier post, Viking Dog Press & C. Cone Studios along with our friend David Moyer of Red Howler Press have been invited to exhibit our work in the Special Collections area of The Bertrand Library at Bucknell University. The exhibit will open on August 19th and run until the end of December. We hope you can view it in person, if not I'll be posting some photos here.
