Warms my heart to see physical art - books, chapbooks, paintings - being sent through the mail. Thanks for sharing this, XP

Thanks. Because of you I learned a new word today (chapbook). And that "trippy drawing" looks like a mask to me. (my likely irrelevant opinion)

Your opinion is both relevant and correct; it is a mask. Whether meant to be worn or not is now up to X.P.C. as its owner.

I actually did put it on as a mask upon opening the package and thought it must be one but hedged my bets in the description. I will update.

Really? I sent them. Let me check and get back to you. I wonder who got them—nothing has come back. Thanks for letting me know.

OK, premiums sent, along with a couple of consolation prizes for the delay.

It took me awhile to find a time to read this (and follow the links). Thank you so much! I loved it all and signed up for d.w.'s substack, followed Anne Heilbron on Instagram and ordered Kortney Garrison's chapbook. I was surprised that it was only $5 plus $1 to ship! I loved seeing each of your broadside examples. I loved the combination of Pamm and Alexis's art with each of your poems! Wow! I too love mail art. Cool there is an International Union of Mail Artists!
