The book includes a poem by Nabila Lovelace, letterpress with images of the lanternfly, laser-cut cutouts, and a fishbone fold binding.

Oyster Boat fishes for the leftovers, deletions, false starts, or byproducts of making—the waiting spat. Bringing the peripheral to center focus, it harvests from the drafts and trimmings of contemporary artists, writers, and thinkers. It is a celebration of the sediment-rich material that feeds creative practice.

All issues are collaborative and hand-printed in small editions at Florida State University’s Facility for Arts Research in Tallahassee, Florida
