«This artists' book features a multi-panel 45 in. artwork by Julie Harrison of Manhattan's coastline as impacted by Hurricane Sandy, accompanied by a poem comprised entirely of verbs describing water movement by E.J. McAdams. This book was produced in an edition of 33 copies. It was printed by Jason Walz at Uncommonbindery on Hahnemühle Agave paper, and accordion-bound in EcoJeans fabric over boards in a cloth-lined clamshell case by John DeMerritt and Emmalee Johnson-Kao at DeMerritt Studios. The text is set in Ryman Eco, an ink-saving typeface designed by Ryman in the United Kingdom. The layout of the poem was designed by Julie Harrison; Kevin Noble photographed Harrison's drawings; and Jason Walz designed the translucent endpapers. M.C. Kinniburgh managed the book's design and production, which was assessed for sustainability at each step. A portion of the proceeds of this book have been donated to the Lower East Side Ecology Center.»
