Bio

I’m a poet and translator who accidentally stumbled into a letterpress exhibit in a museum in New Mexico and never looked back. I print chapbooks and broadsides in my husband’s dojo, which I am slowly co-opting in a battle of wills that I seem to be winning: there are now more typecases than karate equipment in this space. I print small chapbooks and broadsides.I’m located in Pardes Hanna, Israel. In my spare time I salvage letterpress equipment that would otherwise be sold for scrap. I edit boring academic papers in my day job.
