17 limited edition photo poem pamphlets. In 2003, Barbara Henning began collaging photographs with text. She made her first photo-poem pamphlet, Found in the Park, on an ink jet color printer, staple binding, a limited edition of 108, signed and numbered. These pamphlets were then mailed to poets and friends. That was the beginning of what is now a collection of 17 photo poem pamphlets. Most of the poems and photos subsequently have been published in webzines and magazines. Many of them have been collected into her latest book, Cities & Memory, published by Chax Press. Included in this box are one of each of those pamphlets, all from the limited edition, as well as a copy of Cities & Memory. Whoever donates to Belladonna for this collection will also go on Barbara's mailing list for further pamphlets—if there are further pamphlets.
