And so you want to be a fisherman...
By Susan Jaworski-Stranc
Newbury, Massachusetts: Apple Cider Press, 2000. Edition of 10.

Susan Jaworski-Stranc: "A family crisis was this book's genesis, which took place a few years ago between mother & son. The writing of the poem was a means of working out complex feelings and emotions surrounding a universal parental issue – letting go. The book form is a metaphor for the poem. Through the use of prickly metal edges, sharp hooks, the act of untangling the fish from the netting as well as the unfolding of fish assists the reader to relate to the milestone on an intuitive-cognizant level. This deeply felt experience was made concrete through the book arts to share with others."

Quercus
By Rebecca Goodale
Portland, Maine: Rebecca Goodale, 2009. One-of-a-Kind.

20.5 x 14 x 3" closed; 10.5 x 14 x 96" extended. Silkscreen printed oak leaves attached to a 13 cotton strings, which are in turn attached to the bottom and top of the maroon cloth-covered box in which the work is housed.

The Chestnut Oak (quercus prinus) is listed as endangered in Maine's official List of Endangered and Threatened Plants.

Lift the cotton loop attached to the lid's exterior and watch streams of leaves rise on 13 strings like flags on a ship's halyards. Quite obviously meant for display, the lid can be hung from the cotton loop so that the leaves flutter delicately in the wind. Fully extended this homage to the Chestnut Oak rises to 8 feet.
