In this collectable edition of six accordion-fold postcard-style books, Craig Foltz's poems traverse the cultural landscape of the United States. The poems are accompanied by a photograph of each state's sky-- as diverse as the states which make up this giant country. The photographs were contributed by 51 amateur and professional photographers from around the country. The pages are perforated so that the poems can be sent, like balloons, through the mail.

Craig Foltz's work has been or will be in Denver Quarterly, Alaskan Quarterly Review, 580 Split, and Fiction International. He has released two on the now somewhat hard to spot Loudmouth Collective. This is his first book of poetry.

Ellie Ga’s performances and installations have been shown this year at the Swiss Institute-Contemporary Art, The Rubin Museum of Art, The Newark Museum of Art, and at the Viper New Media Festival in Basel, Switzerland and upcoming at Gigantic Art Space. Her artist's books include: Classification of a Spit Stain, Boris by the Sea (by Matvei Yankelevich), and Photos not Taken. She is currently the artist-in-residence of The Explorers Club as well as the co-founder of the micro-explorers club (with David Adamo).
