I thought the nest was empty, but apparently it was home to a pair of very pissed-off birds who are now stalking our front door. I've been throwing crackers and bread crumbs out for them (our bird feeder stands empty). Lots of bird action chez nous...they may be homeless, but at least they're… Continue

Tom Trusky

We have recently heard the extremely sad news of the death of Tom Trusky, our wonderful friend and hard working referee for The Blue Notebook. Tom was an amazing, gifted, enquiring, generous and highly knowledgeable man, and we will miss him and his wonderful wisdom very much.

His work never stopped, he was so passionate about teaching his students at Boise State University to experiment with artists’ books, promoting the works of the outsider artist James Castle through his… Continue
