Poetry. MOONLIGHTING moonlights as an artist's book and prose poem. Text blocks rest against a neo-fauvist pallet of pixilated puns written in a jeep en route to Vermont. The images were culled from the sky in Germany. Moonlighting is wrapped in a violet Fabriano wraps, set in Palatino and was produced at the Kunstlerhaus Bethanian in Berlin, Germany. Handsewn at the press in an edition of 100 copies. Schlesinger is the co-author of an investigation of stencil graffiti entitled SCHABLONE BERLIN (Chax Press), also available from SPD.
