Aesop Re-visited
No full textThe seller's blurb has this to say: 12.5 x 6; ten pages including pastedowns. Original text and images. Handprinted linoleum cuts on Rives paper. Bound in black paper wraps with cut-out star tipped on the front cover. Signed and numbered by the artist on the colophon. A re-telling of the tale of a small fowl who believes the world is coming to an end because the stars are falling from the sky. The artist's colophon actually mentions Stonehenge paper. I leave this artist a good deal of slack because of the Re-visited in her title. Chicken Little is not from Aesop, and this booklet does not proceed as Chicken Little does. The story is a common folktale. In its standard form, a chick believes that the sky is falling because an acorn has fallen on his head. The present booklet begins rather Chicken Little, I heard you say the stars have fallen down. The interlocutor notes that not a sound has been heard. The lovely second stage of the conversation then offers If indeed a star should fall, would there be a sound at all? Or would there be a mournful sigh, a sound so sad the clouds would cry? The final phase has this text: Little bird you are wrong. The stars did not fall but they will fade. They dim their light for the coming day. I have added punctuation in these quotations.

Salt Springs, Wyoming, 1977
No full textCaption: "Salt Springs. Summer 1977 - File #192. What these concrete cubes did is a mystery to me, but they were some part of the process which removed the salt - in an admittedly impure state - from the springs in the area north of the Flying V Ranch. Fran Washatka is looking into one. It is merely a concrete box, not set into the ground at all
