Kerri Cushman. 29 times....
Farmville, Virginia.

Handmade paper, clay, book cloth, Dad's old shirt. 29 times contains a poem nestled inside a handmade box. The narrative describes my father and the number of times he told a particular wide-mouth frog joke. At the time I could only roll my eyes - now I long to hear his voice and that crazy story again. I wish I could remember the punch line.
