Today's learning time = #DHmakes typesetting a vertical fall of text. A long poem, even w/big paper=sometimes undoing+changing typeface or size to fit everything, or bc I run out of sorts in a size/font. Even w/digital mockup before (1), set 50% of this section (2) then made a bunch of changes (3) +

I like the letterpress restrictions of paper (& press) size, how many letters you have in what size+font. This print's highlevel layout has already had 2 major changes bc of that; mapping on newsprint to make sure everything can still fit, if key text is as large as I want #DHmakes +

Working on a letterpress print of my favorite new trans poem (trans-glitching free a bot 🏳️⚧️🤖). Gratitude to the author for permission & writing a beautiful piece of work that made me cry (happy) several separate times, & thanks to the magazine publisher for releasing early permission.
