At Flor y Canto, these awesome little one-poem chaps, which are a fantastic idea and fantastic production, were everywhere (organizers and volunteers were just handing them out and leaving them on people’s chairs):
These little chaps are 2.0 inches tall x 1.75 inches wide!
(For scale, see my lip gloss tube at the top of the pic)

It’s a very cool teeny tiny press. I have one or two of these books at home somewhere that Akua Lezli Hope sent me. They’re so great.
Hello, forthcoming-from-BOA-editions: I’ve seen the website for this before (made in Sacramento, my hometown!), but not actual specimens. How neat that they made their way across I-80 here. Congrats on the publisher match!
