Long a part of literary history, broadsides are single-sided pages that feature one poem and some visual elements. But a strong and unusually strange bit of enthusiasm hit me one morning while reading: I have a poem about a fictional museum; why don’t I print it as as museum brochure? And thus my brochureside(tm) for “The Museum of Broken Promises” was born!
Printed in a limited run of 25 copies, these hand-numbered copies will be for sale for $3.00 at both of my features in southern and central New Jersey (November 17 and 19, respectively). The brochureside features the poem itself on the internal three folds along with some images closely illustrative of the imaginary exhibits, while the other side offers up a few Easter eggs and visual puns as well as a heartfelt dedication and not so heartfelt About The Author blurb.

“The Museum of Broken Promises” is inspired by and follows the tradition of The Idiom and Piscataway House Publications Publisher Mark Brunetti, who wrote and performed a number of poems about imaginary museums.
