Folded&Gathered Blog is Moving

Finally, I have launched a rudimentary, but I hope serviceable, website for folded&gathered press.

Please visit it for news about our first project, "Dark Star Requiem" by Jill Battson, and the associated Limited Edition, a boxed set containing a hardcover version of the book, and a multiple by noted conceptual artist Micah Lexier.

This blog has served it's purpose as a place-holder during a very busy time. Rather than maintain two blogs, I'll be putting book related posts in my more established blog, Neurartic from now on (and there's a good one today!)

See you over there.

But hurry: CBC only makes these recordings available for a month after the original broadcast.

(Thanks, Claire!)
