Advice from a Bird by Regula Russelle
The perfect tiny pocket poem letterpress printed by Regula Russelle at MCBA. Poem by Yvette Nelson.
What you will find inside:
“Believe in windows.
A cage is all windows.
Accept infinite space.
Do not think of the long run.
This is dispiriting
and flattens the world.
Go ahead!
Preen the bejeweled
and plain feathers
your life depends on.
Savor the succulent
the granular.
Sing and coo
squawk and honk
chirp and peep.
Awaken the Earth.
Put the Earth to sleep.
Think curve.
Think Earth in its diurnal turn. Think nest.
There is more than one way to make a nest; so make room.
Also, live side by side.
This is what flock and fold mean.
Let no darkening shadow scatter you.” - Yvette Nelson

Regula Russelle happily makes tiny books and zines — work that addresses themes of community and culture making. She has been recognized with a Minnesota Book Artist Award for her body of work and contributions to the books arts community, and has received support for her work from the MN State Arts Board, the Jerome Foundation, and the McKnight Foundation. Her work can be found in public collections, on kitchen bulletin boards, and in the occasional handbag. She loves the color yellow, hand-lettering, kindness, and singing (alone, with others, and with her three-quarter sized guitar).
Texts of poems and of a couple other tiny books are available at RegulaRusselle.com
