A group of us just read and presented design talks at Evergreen State 
University in Olympia, Washington (Leonard Schwartz's class) and at 
Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon (organized by Jules Boykoff 
and Kaia Sand, among others). The reception was warm and engaged. 
Readers included Tiare Picard, Craig Perez, Deborah Meadows, Lissa 
Wolsak, Lisa Kanae and Susan M. Schultz. Approximately 200 people showed 
up for the reading at Pacific University and many dozens more for Gaye 
Chan and Lian Litvin's design talk. You can see photos at the “friends 
of Tinfish Press” facebook page.

This past April we sponsored a reading by Linh Dinh and Naomi Long in 
Honolulu. In early November, we celebrated Tinfish #17 with a reading in 
the UH English department.

We invite you to buy Tinfish books. They make wonderful gifts for lovers 
of poetry and design, especially. To buy a Tinfish book is also to 
support the making of more fine books.

We intend to publish more fine books in the coming year, and to offer 
readings here (Hawai`i) and elsewhere. So we also invite you to make tax 
deductible donations to Tinfish, either on the website or at our address:
