A book is a mechanism of moving parts designed to deliver a story: a beginning, a winding middle, a close. The books in this series tell a story of mystery and surprise; they beg to be held and then uncovered. Text won’t be found in most of these, but each will offer a tiny adventure and reveal new ways to experience familiar forms.

The book objects in this series are sewn together or shaped in a nontraditional way: a book with 4 spines, a book whose binding makes a full loop, a book whose ratio is 1:20. Each provides a new kind of book story.


A book is a poem.


An online and physical survey/group show of text-based physical artworks by TheVERSEverse in partnership with L'Avant Galerie and Librairie Métamorphoses.


This is Part 2 of an exhibition. Part 1 "Poème Objkt", a conversation between poetry and the visual arts brought to life through the liminal play of the physical and the digital, opened in October 2022 at L’Avant Galerie Vossen.
