Members show creativity in May bundle

The May bundle brought a new batch of creative items from AAPA members, again making it challenging to call out just a few as "Picks of the Month." Here are the ones that caught my eye...

There were two neatly printed letterpress cards. The first, by Port City Letterpress (I had to go to the online membership directory to discover that is Charles Holden) is "Lonely Flowers," a poem surrounded by an appropriate border. The second card, a pangram (a sentence using all letters in the alphabet) from the press of Laurie Kitzke, includes an illustrative cut.

Dylan Wylde produced issue number one of Home Life Quarterly. With three one-page articles, a poem, and cover, it goes beyond the typical "flimsie" ajay publication, and I look forward to future issues.

After many consecutive monthly issues of his Mini ZineSteve Ingram takes a break, instead sending us Thoughts from Above to explain how work travel has kept him busy.

Ron Hylton is in most monthly bundles, usually with a reprinted article set on his Intertype that is connected to the area around his home in Chinook, Washington. This time it's a story from the late 1920s about a beached schooner.
