A Savory June Bundle

Earlier this year, AAPA's officers asked members for suggestions on a theme for the June bundle. Though not required, an intriguing theme can spark participation. The winning theme was food, and about half of the pieces in the June bundle related to that subject.

The most engaging piece for me was "Cooking Memories" in Steve Ingram's Mini Zine #16. The pictures and description of his "Daddy Burgers" made me want to drop by for one of his summer barbeques!

Ron Hylton chatted about a lifetime of experiences with food in And now about chow..., going back to his earliest experiences. Restaurants, favorite meals, food's influence on culture, his thoughts on Big Agricuture -- they are all covered in just four pages.

Clarence Wolfshohl also covers his personal history of enjoying all types of food with "First Taste" in a supplemental edition of Anonymous Quarterly. He closes with one of his poems, "For Vegetarians." Clarence also separately letterpress printed "Artichoke," a wood engraving by Dennis Adams.

Another letterpress project is Liz Ellsworth's "inch by inch roW BY roW," shows off a cucumber seedling from Belfast, Maine.

John Edgerton cooks up "Pathway to Breakfast," a poem that describes all the steps of making the first meal of the day, starting with picking out eggs in the store.

Thanks to all who responded to the June bundle theme!
