THE INVITATION ...

BY STRESSLA LYNN JOHNSON

The NEAR and FAR cards were printed by Cumbersome Multiples Press on a 1928 Chandler & Price letterpress using antique wooden type. PonyXpress writers wrote a response to the word on the cover. The cards were passed to the next writers and they used the prompt to write on the back.

The paper is white,

a thought, an idea of

I wrote a letter to my brother,
In black ink, a few words to make him think,
