A new chapbook of visual poetry by Tom Prime, Act 3: Vegetable Love delves deeper into the materials and processes of collage established in earlier iterations of Prime’s work. These mixed-media poems combine office supplies and printouts into chaotic, overlapping compositions of text, paper, and ink. The Blasted Tree has produced 9” x 8.5” hand-bound chapbooks, each with a unique front cover and randomized thread and back cover colors, released in a limited edition of fifty copies.
