Yo, check this out! Here’s another glimpse of this incredible crankie that my sister commissioned over the holidays from @marianmclaughlin. Subscribe to my Patreon to see the full video and support the release of my new book of #TravelByHaiku. Link is in my bio. What is a crankie, you may ask? It’s an old storytelling device where a long, illustrated scroll is hand-cranked through a viewing window while a story is told. @marianmclaughlin makes them on demand on any topic or idea. Send her a message if you’d like to commission a gift like this for someone you love. She’s open for requests and as you can see an extraordinary dream laborer. This storyboard is based on my travels across the country and features the likes of @parseseco, and the unicorn #majakawanders, as well as a snapshot of the @poetsforpeace.us. As far as the new book, it includes haikus like the ones featured in this clip. We’re a quarter of the way to funding a release party that’ll feature performances like this. Your pledge to my Patreon campaign means I’ll be able to pay performers and promote the new book. For as little as $1 a month, you can read all the rough drafts and watch the accompanying animations. For $7 a month, I’ll mail you a signed copy of the book when it’s released in March 2021. All tiers of support have a chance to contribute to the behind the scenes of a book of poetry being born out of the dust of the road.
