Status Updates From The Book

“I am me — faithful to the / book”

As a designer and lover of poetry, what could be more interesting than a book of notes made by a master poet on the production of the ideal book of poetry? What intrigues me most is not just the topic, but the form of the book itself. Each poem is laid out almost like a cross between concrete poetry and musical notation, with many of Mallarme's edits struck out, showing the movement of his thought over time.
