Abecedarium Anomalous: What’s Next???

Ruth Keil Posselt, author/publisher

I just looked at all these postings. If you continue clicking on “older posts,” you can read everything since this blog began in 2008.

I’ve described rewards won and acclaim received, what the book is about and its authors, serendipity enjoyed while selling it and where it’s being read in the world.

I’ve also given you Halloween and Yuletide A-to-Z, shown you some of my negative prints and found-materials sculptures. I described other publications from my press, RoothBooks Intl., offered packs of PuzzleArt!!! at a discount, and signed copies of my book at a special discount of $26.95 including embossed gold foil award seal and priority mail shipping.

What’s Next??? How Abecedarium Anomalous evolved—
First was collaboration with an artist to write an alphabet book—a publisher said my writing was too sophisticated for children. Then a gallery show in Los Angeles: montages of my black-and-white photographs with art papers and my poetry. The show was titled abecedarium anomalous. Then I designed a postcard line featuring my young son’s Picasso-esque drawings.

The first studio edition of Abecedarium Anomalous was a softcover square format, exhibited and sold at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. [see 2008 posting]. Then came desktop publishing and the revised design in hardcover you enjoy today!
