Our Mother Blooming by Jim Bodeen (1986)


Our Mother Blooming

Jim Bodeen

Blue Begonia Press

Yakima, WA

(c)1986

Jim Bodeen is a poet. And a printer. And a publisher. And a fixture in the Yakima, Washington artistic community. 

This handsome oversized book is a fine example of his work. I have included the publisher's page since it includes the time of year when the book was completed : "...as the first crocus emerged through the snow in last February". 

Handsewn. This is everything I love about chapbooks; the care to detail is exquisite.
