About the poems (2/2): Intrigued, Kearney set out to write a series of poems as sequential fractals engaging each category *through* the other fifteen. The essay became “Knowledge of Freedom” and the poems became A Natural History of Inequality.

If the prints are small enough I use a chipboard mailer with an extra cardboard insert if possible. If they're too big for a mailer I sandwich them between two sheets of cardboard with space all around and tape up the edges. I hoard sheets of cardboard from paper orders to do this.
