Closing an amazing journey from Amsterdam to Kristiansund, Norway and back for photographs, friends, and Christmas, we visited Gallery Boekie Woekie, an inspiring place for fine art books. After a wonderful conversation, my one poem books are now available in the Netherlands! Visit the store HERE.
The one poem books were presented to Kathleen A. Correia (Supervising Librarian, California History Section,California State Library) on December 15, 2016 by Don Drake (book designer), Sonia Underdown (Donor), Kate Jordahl (photographer/editor) Carol Henri (poet) for their permanent collection.
