A feast for the eyes, this collection of haiku's measures approximately 4.25" wide by 3.25" tall by .5" high. Featuring 25 thick stock letter-pressed pages, presenting a selection of haiku's from the larger project. All wrapped and housed in a chipboard wrapper letter-pressed with an illustration of the town of Rensselaerville, and title to the spine. The cover illustration is by Dorothea Kelly Martin. Neatly tied shut, and preserved in a clear archival bag.</b> New condition, still in publisher wrap. See images. The Haiku Project first began in 2013, curated by Tom Gilroy. 5 writers committed to write one haiku a day for the entire month of April. These originals were written into a handmade book of recycled library card catalog cards, collected together and sold at auction to benefit the Rensselaervile Library. This limited edition follows both the master auction collection, and also 26 lettered copies. Any way you cut it, this is still a rare and unique collection of poems by notable figures in the literary, music, film and artistic genres. This item is new as it was originally created and distributed. The only indication of use is the tear in the gold star sticker sealing the archival bag. I broke the sticker in order to identify the limitation number.
