INCREMENT

by Chris Tonelli

Filled with short, finely tuned poems, INCREMENT works, through voice, subject, and composition, to examine and measure staid suburban life. The words are placed with a modernist painter’s eye, and attempt to hold humor and despair so closely together that the separation between them blurs. In INCREMENT they form one object. “Or maybe just the desire / to be its shape. Its / surface tension.”

The book itself utilizes a glossy, offset printed dust jacket featuring a portrait of the artist over a thick, letterpress embossed cover. The text is digitally set in Garamond and Minion, printed digitally on 100% cotton paper. It is printed in an edition of 100.
