Estepa Editions and Conversion... the making of an art-poetry book!

Kate Noakes looks on as Kate Van Houten explains her layout

Yesterday in Paris a lovely brunch at le Charbon with visiting writers from Barcelona and New York as well as local ex-pat Kate Noakes before a stroll over to rue de Charonne and Kate Van Houten's art studio to see the process of making and finalizing the touches on our collaborative book, CONVERSION. 

CONVERSION by Jennifer K Dick with artwork by Kate Van Houten: will be a collection of 7 folio-pages on a gorgeous off-white, slightly yellow paper, with the words printed in blue, the images by Kate floating above and through my 7 prose poems, all of this encased in a hand-made box which will be enrobed with an eggplant-colored paper will soon be out from Estepa Editions (check out her blog at Kateplusbooks which she is hoping to have updated soon).
