Sign up by purchasing a share in the online shop (there are some zines for sale there too!) and mail goes our in November. 💌💌💌 If you’re a patron- don’t forget there’s a discount code you can use to snag this share for less. #landcapsules #groundshotsproject #ontheroad #mailproject https://www.instagram.com/p/B2E1qJhBoA4/?igshid=18fhulskeeisx

Ground Shots chapbook ‘It Smells I Feel’ #2 was originally made for April land capsule subscribers via Patreon, and I have done a reprint to put them up for sale in my store. Sometimes I use words like I would paint or sew. I string them together not to try to make complete sentences that make sense in the ‘proper’ rules of English (and as a southerner, I have been told my whole life my English was not proper, I’m over it. AIN’T that a thing?) but to let them flow like they feel in my body. Like color makes me react with a deep swelling of bliss, a word and how it looks on paper in response to a feeling I have about a thing gives me the same feeling. A word stretched, or upside down, or repeated, or molded into a string of other words. It’s cathartic, it’s externalizing an undefinable feeling. In this mini-zine is also a list of common names of plants I noted when I drove up the coast last spring from the Bay Area to Mendocino, CA camping along the way. I do this because many of these plants I have found elsewhere and noticing that familiar thing, and taking note, imprints something in the bigger map in my brain of plants’ where’s and whys. There’s more but I’ll leave it for you to take in when you snag a copy. Patrons: I’ve got a digital version coming for you hopefully next week. Link to store in bio. (Thanks to @lisalureinhardt for letting me borrow your straw bale walls this past weekend, color therapy is real) . . . . . . . . . #groundshotsproject (at Rough and Ready, California)
