Theresa Williams , Blue Velvis: a story with pictures

Theresa sent me a copy of this wonderful book (published by Easy Street Publications) although I think Theresa referred to as a zine. Whatever the genre, it is a beautifully realised story with remarkable characters.  I am not surprised that Blue Velvis was the winner of a $10,000 grant from  the Ohio Arts Council and was nominated for a Pushcart Prize!

I recommend Blue Velvis wholeheartedly.  contact Theresa at: theresarrt7@aol.com if you are interested in buying a copy!

Theresa is zining!

Theresa wrote me in response to an off-line conversation. theresa writes that this Zine #1 is "The Miraculous Birth" One of the rectangles features a letter she has written to Simon Warren. 

Theresa sends altered doll image

Thesesa is a poet-artist who teaches at Bowling Green State University and in her spare time publishes The Episotlarium online, with commentary. I have never met Theresa, so I'm just guessing that is the order she would put these things in, but she is a fabulous poet. I love her chapbook: The Galaxy to Ourselves (New Women's Voices Series, No. 93). She wins accolades for her teaching and has published some of my stuff in the Episotarium.You can click on this link to download and read it: http://theletterproject.wordpress.com/2012/12/21/the-epistolarium-issue-one/  As an artist, a mail artist, she makes altered dolls, beautiful illustrations and I presume paintings and takes beautiful photos!
