This Is Fifty-Three, day 28
After a very productive day yesterday, I spent today going through all the sections of the book, making small adjustments here and there, swapping out photos, and even taking out a couple of inadvertent duplicates (the poem ‘Sinistrata’ appeared in two sections, for example).

Minor adjustments yesterday—matched images to the handful of poems that did not yet have any, deleted a couple of poems I changed my mind about, and shuffled around the order a bit. Continue reading
This Is Fifty-Three, day 25
Thanks to a lull in the action, I was able to work a bit on the book yesterday. It had been long enough that I sort of lost track of where I was, but the main task was to update some of what I had already worked on, incorporating some of my newer poems, and taking out others. Continue reading

I finished the preliminary layout for the Oddities section today.
As the screenshots below demonstrate, I did not necessarily give every spread the wacky treatment. In part, that was to let the poems speak for themselves, but it was also to let the material dictate the treatment of each spread. Continue reading

That led to some major vacuuming today—I’m talking about taking out area rugs, moving furniture, all that. Among other things, I found the Diana camera I bought at a yard sale five years ago, and a wooden box that’s almost perfect for keeping the books that are currently in my to-read pile.
But enough of what could be a huge digression if I don’t cut it off here. While taking a break from all the vacuuming and moving furniture, I played around a little bit with layout stuff. Continue reading
This Is Fifty-Three, day 18
I feel like I lost a bit of momentum today, even though I worked most of the afternoon and made some progress. I think the problem I’m running into is that I want this section to be adventurous, and even ‘weird’, but not for the sake of weirdness alone. In fact, I’m pretty sure that I’ll be re-doing a couple of the spreads I worked on today. Continue reading
