Mirrors of Mortality - Collaborative Poetry - David Stone (USA)/Cheryl Penn (South Africa)

Mirrors of Mortality
Edition of 20 chapbooks.  This poetry collaboration began on March 18th 2016 and ended on August 26th 2016.  The subject of “mirrors” was obviously not complete, as we have begun a new collaboration titled Through the Mirror of Me.  I made a larger edition of this collaboration so that I could catch up the books I owe for the 3.0 # 15 collaboration on http://artistbooks.ning.com.  Sadly this platform is shutting down so this book begins the blogging on this new blog to which collaborative artists book makers can contribute. Please notify me if you wish to become a contributing author. This is Book 526 of the artists books collection An Encyclopedia of Everything.
See http://collaborativecanto.blogspot.com for a full version of the poem.
