Triangle by Ruth Bavetta

The summer 2008 edition of Rattle devotes a special 60-page full-color section to visual poetry. Ruth Bavetta has written to announce that her three pieces from her series “Readings” will be featured in this issue.

Ruth works in a medium called altered books. The piece above is one she let me feature here back in 2005. It was done by altering an old yoga book. Here’s a newer example. This work is not that which is featured in Rattle.

For more examples of the art of altered books, try this site. I’ve been visiting for years.
