Honoured by @cablestreet-litmag.bsky.social's remarkable review of IN THE BLUEPRINT OF HER IRIS. Gratitude to @danadelibovi.bsky.social & team ❤️

To talk about paintings is not only difficult but perhaps pointless too. You can only express in words what words are capable of expressing-- what language can communicate. Painting has nothing to do with that.

💯 Cable Street is reviewing an Ice Floe book in our 10th issue, which comes out next week. Small, indie presses cooperate rather than compete. I wish the whole world did that!

Congrats @icefloepress.bsky.social and publisher @rfredekenter.bsky.social 💙📚
