feminafesto feminafesto page
Feminafesto is a feminist manifesto, but much more, a human manifesto, and one that champions poetry.  "Poetry is not empire building. It deterritorializes empire."

Thanks to Anne Waldman for allowing Chax Press to print Feminafesto. This book was printed and sewn in 105 to 110 degree heat in late June and early July 2011 in our Tucson, Arizona studio, with fans blowing from two directions on the printer at the Vandercook Press. Type, wood type, and polymer plates were all used in the printing process.

Charles Alexander completed the bulk of the printing, with valuable assistance from Johann Martinez. The cuts used as visual information in the book have been re-purposed from original work by Sonia Telesco and Cynthia Miller. All papers used were found under the main table in our studio, and include Bristol for covers and Mohawk Superfine for text. Type is Goudy Old Style and a wood type given to us by friends.

Matriot Acts
"New century new millennium new decade dawning your 'womanmind' at times still in rage. How far you have traveled in inner and outer space which smear together in a furious imagination. How a work/world view shifts: wave functions, quantum tunneling, the relative nature of simultaneity, black holes, and more. String theory. The rolling ceaseless energy of the 'vacuum'! What is a 'unified theory', what is balance, what is symmetry of effort, energy and condition of the multi-universe? What does the female human body/mind still 'tell us'?  (from the end "Note" by the author)

Covers hand printed by Charles and  Nora Alexander.

Photograph on covers by Anne Waldman.

First edition limited to 200 copies. Almost all copies are signed.
