extended family
greetings, friends!
please say hello to the newest member of the akinoga family: this punching cradle!
i threw this guy together in like a half hour at work on friday (in my other life, i'm a cabinet maker), and put it through an extended test run by punching the sewing stations for half of Go to the Ant.
now all i need to make is a press...

bright and shiny kind of news!
hello, friends!
i am thrilled to announce that, in a little over a month, akinoga press will be publishing Go to the Ant, O Sluggard, anthony molls's debut poetry chapbook. anthony and i have been working on the book for about a year, if not longer, and i am so incredibly impatient to share this wonderful collection with everyone.
if you are in baltimore on may 23rd, please consider coming to the book release! as soon as we figure out a venue and a time, i will disseminate that information like nobody's business.
for now, though, please check back in for in-process pictures of the Great Chapbook Binding of 2016, aka mychael gets to stitch and glue together sixty books.
