PARROT 1

Parrot 1 cover, next to it's predecessor SPARROW
The interior
The back cover
 Author, Stephanie Rioux and publisher, Matthew Timmons

This is a wonderful collaborative effort started with my friend, Matthew Timmons, which is one of my few endevours involving creative writing.  The PARROT series was originally issued by Blanc Press (Los Angeles) from 2005-2010. Insert Press, based in Los Angeles,  is reissuing facsimile editions of each title from the PARROT series and releasing a Limited Edition hand-bound set of the collection at the end of the run. PARROT, is a direct reference to SPARROW published by Black Sparrow Press in the late 1960's.  SPARROW was printed using only handset type, and now, PARROT is being produced using more modern conventions: screenprinting and laserjet printing. 
The books were printed on Mohawk Via Satin. 
Individual copies can be bought through Insert Press here, as well as preordered copies of the series in it's entirety.
