Abe's Penny

I am still in over my head concerning day to day life but wanted to post on Abe's Penny. At the end of April I received an email from Anna Knoebel, Editor of Abe's Penny. She wrote:

"Collectible and temporal, Abe’s Penny is like a flash card – quick to experience – and taps into a pre-email love of receiving mail. Each volume contains four postcards that subscribers receive one by one, once per week, for one month. Each postcard features an image and a few lines of text. The full set of four postcards is a full story. Our idea is to keep it short and frequent."

and went on to say that if I would send my mailing address she would send me May's edition(s). Let me state right here and now that I CAN be bought. Let me further state the the concept and execution of this micro magazine is absolutely wonderful which is why I want to let others know about it (and subscribed to keep the stories/photos/poems coming). I am not even close to keeping up with this (or other) blog and email. I am beyond tired of bills and junk in the mail. Subscribing to Abe's Penny assures a tangible bright spot in the mail box once a week. I am taken with the serial approach to the images as well as the narrative text unfolding over a month's time. I think this is a brilliant, somewhat retro, approach to publishing.

You can view the first two editions here (1.1) and here (1.2).

P.S. I have a few more weeks of mayhem and then hope to get back to regular posting. Be well.
