Read This: Abe’s Penny
Abe’s Penny is a great concept: a “micro-magazine” that, each month, spreads a photo-illustrated poem out over four postcards, mailed out to subscribers a week apart. Sisters Anna and Tess Knoebel started the publication back in March; the postcard above is the first installment of the eighth issue, which juxtaposes photographs by Cornelia Hediger with a narrative poem (perhaps even a short-short story) by Adam Wade.
A six-month subscription is $48; a full year goes for $82. Seems like a great investment—pair Abe’s Penny up with One Story and it looks like you’d get plenty of reading goodness and no problems keeping up with it.
