Dan Beachy-Quick Poetry Trading Cards

It's that time of year again...time to get your syllabus in order and put your summer reading aside. Do things a little differently this year: start your semester off right with your very own Dan Beachy-Quick Poetry Trading Card.



Dan Beachy-Quick is a poet, writer, and critic. He is also the author of four collections of poems (most recently, Circle's Apprentice from Tupelo Press) and A Whaler’s Dictionary (Milkweed Editions), a collection of essays about Moby Dick.

Patterned after a 1999 Topps baseball card design, Dan Beachy-Quick's poetry trading card features a photo by Stephanie G'Schwind on the front and new poem titled "Drone" on the reverse side.

Fact-Simile Poetry Trading Cards are printed on recycled cardboard and available for just 99 cents on our website. Subscriptions to the entire 2013 Poetry Trading Card Series are available at a discount and, as always, our 2010, 2011 and 2012 Poetry Trading Cards are still available individually or as complete sets.

Happy Reading,

Travis & JenMarie Macdonald

One Hundred Colorado Places by Erik Anderson & Elizabeth Robinson

We are delighted to announce the official release of One Hundred Colorado Places by Erik Anderson & Elizabeth Robinson. If you stopped by the Fact-Simile Editions table at AWP in Boston, you may have caught a quick glimpse of this book before we sold out of the few copies we brought. If you missed it, it looks something like this:

100 Colorado Places100 CO Places By Erik Anderson & Elizabeth Anderson

One Hundred Colorado Places is a  hand-carved, accordion-fold book nested in a tin, windowed box. It is set in Arno Pro and printed in an edition of 100 on six interlocking 4x40-inch reclaimed 120 gsm Arches Text Wove “pages” bound together in a single “signature” with found twine.

You can watch a video of this unusual book here.

Since we are still hard at work carving all this paper, for the next 10 days (until 8/15) we are offering One Hundred Colorado Places at 25% off the cover price.

Happy Reading,
