There's a great article in the current Poetry Foundation newsletter about the impact a book of poetry's binding can have on the poetry and vice versa. We had a great workshop for poets on creating broadsides for their work, and I'd like to advocate looking at artists books as having interesting potential for poets & lovers of poetry alike. We're in the process of scheduling another Artists Books class (or two) and I'd encourage anyone who loves words to think about this workshop as a chance to create something really magical.
Check out the interview at this link:

If that doesn't work (and I have to admit the link looks really dicey going in) you can see it at the poetryfoundation.org. The title of the article is Beyond Perfect-Bound. Because we all know that perfect bound books are far from perfect.
