The new current state: about halfway through stamping the interior pages. This spread of two poems requires seven impressions in total. The platens are all set in a sequential order, working from bottom to top. It takes a few pages to get into a rhythm, but once I get into it the printing goes fairly smoothly.

The new current state: stamping is well underway.

I’ve just updated the Puddles of Sky Press website with a section featuring all my publications I still have on hand from other small presses. I’ve had such great experiences working with friends and bookmakers, and I’m really proud of all these publications.

My most recent chapbook is A Sudden Change of Season, a chapbook of short fictions, from Proper Tales Press. You can find out more information and order a copy on my website, just follow the link in the comments!

Alternatively, you can send Zalman Razovsky a message and he can get you a copy along with a few other recent Proper Tales titles!

While trimming down the covers of Jason Heroux’s new chapbook “Blizzard of None” I save all the off-cuts for a future issue of STUMPT. I try to create as little waste as possible, and keep my print costs as low as possible at the same time.

Getting a few orders put together and shipped out today. Using all recycled or thrifted materials helps me keep shipping costs low. It does make for a more involved production process, but it also allows for another aspect of creativity to flow through the press.

Just received a pile of discount postage. I’m eager to get some packages sent out with these stamps on them. Putting discounts on shipping from the website would take an overhaul of the page, I can add a bunch of bonus publications to every order. Check out www.puddlesofskypress.com, make an order, I’ll toss in some extras and ship it out soon!
