Description
Designed by A. S. C. Rower and issued in an edition of 250, On the Slates is a book that immediately announces itself as something apart from a typical codex. Reminiscent of Dadaist works from the early half of the 20th century, Clark Coolidge’s experimental language poem is printed on loose paper leaves the same size as U.S. paper currency, wrapped with an actual U.S. dollar bill overprinted with the address of the Flockophobic Press, and tied with a shoestring—this nestled within one smelly, used men’s shoe.
