Sheets

By Dolores Connelly
Tacoma, Washington: Springtide Press, 2010. Edition of 30.

6 x 4.5 x 2.5"; four houses. Text handset and letterpress printed on handmade abaca paper. Folded and formed into house shapes. Housed in boxes made with Paper Studio's recycled cardboard box paper.

Colophon: "Sheets is a cycle of haiku by Dolores Connelly, each poem capturing a moment within a season. These haiku are excerpted with permission of the author from A Twisted Balance, One-Line Haiku and a Few Senryu, an unpublished collection of one hundred haiku dedicated to people forced from their homelands or houses."

Jessica Spring: "The ongoing cycle of homelessness throughout a year is reflected in the patterns and cycling colors printed on the interior of each paper house, muted but shining through translucent fiber."
