Gary Snyder's Four Changes

Happy 2011! We here at Fact-Simile would like to begin the new year with a message from Gary Snyder:

Four Changes

Happy Reading!

Poetry Trading Cards Make Great Gifts

Happy Holidays from Fact-Simile! We've been busy settling into our new city,
creating our 2011 Calendar and
publishing Hoa Nguyen's new book, Chinaberry so we've fallen a little bit
behind on our 2010 Trading Card Series responsibilities.

Without further delay we'd like to announce the release of not one...not two...but THREE new Poetry Trading Cards featuring new work from Kristin Prevallet, Harryette Mullen and Jerome Rothenberg:

What better way to spread the seasonal cheer and stuff the stockings of all your favorite poet friends than a Trading Card (or three!) from Fact-Simile? Just 99 cents plus shipping (the price of a pack of gum) you can own an authentic replica of your favorite poet's face on piece of recycled cardboard. Plus, there's a previously unreleased poem on the back of each card! How cool is that?

You can order the whole 2010 set by following the "subscribe" button at the link above. Order your cards soon and we'll get them in the mail before
Santa Claus even packs his sleigh.

Speaking of great holiday gift ideas, subscriptions to our entire 2011 catalog are now available for a steal. More details here:

Stay tuned in the new year, we've got another great lineup of poets planned with 2011 Trading Card subscriptions going on sale soon. But, for now...

Happy Holiday Reading,

Travis & JenMarie (aka The Editors)
