“I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word.”
Last year I spent a day letterpress printing my poem Your Words.
I wrote this poem in 2017, as an acknowledgement of the power of writing and sharing our work.
Letter by letter I handset the type (look close at the photograph above—you might be able to pick out the words, backwards!). I printed copies on a platen press, powered by treadle—and my foot! The whole process was meditative and transforming. These prints hold all of the energy of that day, and of my gratitude to those of you who do, or long to, share your words in the world.
