#lightshippress

One more postcard design with a little poem I wrote. I made this one specifically to raise money to restore the website for @lightshippress—the website went down on July 24th and I haven’t had the resources to restore it. Two packs of these postcards roughly gets a month of @squarespace hosting. Hoping to sell enough of these to get money for a year of the website fees. Lightship Press is on hiatus and the website has been a just pointer to other websites where one could find poets’ books & albums. But still it would be pretty cool if it was up and running. . igorbrezhnev.com/shop/dearpoetcard . . #lightshippress #postcard #poetrycommunity #pdxpoetry #smallpress #poetrypostcard #dearpoet #thistle (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE7bU4-haN6/?igshid=1iszmoowj1id7

This is why I want to get Lightship Press started. I am my happiest self when I get to work with incredibly talented people and make books. It is a privilege and an honor to help usher written word into the real world. We need these words in today's reality desperately and I would put all my remaining years in service of that idea. yes, i know, i'm being dramatic, whatcha gonna do, i'm a damn poet. :) . . . #bookdesign #publishing #lightshippress #newbook #bookbirthday #homesickseason (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buc65eblNN1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xvfwhd0cba6l
