Luisa Giugliano : Chapter in a Day Finch Journal
This is Luisa's first and only book to date, and perhaps the first book to carry the Cuneiform Press imprint. Why 'perhaps'? Although Chapter in a Day Finch Journal has all of the attributes of a conventional chapbook, we gave it an ISSN instead of an ISBN, so technically it is a stand-alone periodical.
I procured a small amount of Bembo type for the cover. If you look closely, you'll see that the 's' in 'Luisa' is upside down. Also, the colophon states that the book was handbound by the author, but for reasons I can't recall, she asked me to staple it instead. Finally, I'm fairly certain that I didn't finish assembling this book until 2001, but the copyright is 2000. I like round numbers, so I've always said Cuneiform started in 2000, although it was probably January or February of 2001. Live and learn!
Luisa studied with Larry Fagin in New York City, and later at Bard. Today she is a practicing Quaker who works as a circle facilitator and yoga therapist. She splits her time between Manhattan and Long Island.
