About the Workshop:

This in-person class at Center for Book Arts is taught by instructor Maria G. Pisano

What is poetry? How do words inspire us? The class will begin with choosing one’s own text or a favorite passage, and proceed to extract words that can be formed into poetic form. Discussion will center on various forms of poetry, how to pull out meaningful text and compose one’s own poem. The next step is to respond visually to it via drawing, collage, printing and/or painting on the pages and transform them into a creative work of art. If time allows we will bind your pages into a book.


This workshop references Tom Philip’s A Humument – Please visit his site and read the introduction at: https://www.tomphillips.co.uk/humument


Required Materials:

  • Choose 2 spreads, or 4 pages of a literary novel book you like – something that is of interest to you and has meaning that you can respond to. Xerox the pages you have chosen - so you will have multiple pages to bring to the workshop and work on them. Please use good acid free art paper to Xerox your pages, no larger than 8.5 x11. Bring at least two copies of each page, so you can practice on one and use the second for your final.

  • Think of a media you like to use for painting (acrylics or watercolor only), printing - stamp pads, triangular make-up sponges - one per color; drawing - markers, colored pencils; collage, etc. – bring all relevant materials with you.

  • Additionally please bring your basic bookbinding kit: Self healing mat, small snap blade knife, triangle, stick glue, small scissors, pencil, eraser, 12" metal ruler, bone folder, brushes

A more detailed materials list will be sent to you upon registration.

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.

delightful read
Format: Kindle
What a delightful read. The characters are awesome, the plot was so good, I loved it. I was intrigued and it kept me wanting more. Told in multiple pov, the book sucks you in and doesn’t let go. I cannot wait to read the next book.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.
