This seventh volume of The Solomon & George Chapbook Series features the fiber art of Mary O. Stevens and the poetry of Crystal H. Rogers. They have been friends for many years, sharing interests in the natural habitats near their rural homes. They also share a concern for the preservation of the environment—for plants, animals, and humans.

ISBN-978-0-9966839-8-2
This sixth volume of The Solomon & George Chapbook Series features the art of Allyson Comstock and the poetry of Peter Huggins.

Placed on facing pages, twelve handmade paper pieces are accompanied by twelve poems to create A Gift of Air.
The Wake of the Year by Gloe Herbert Dyne and Ken Autrey
ISBN-978-0-9966839-7-5
This fifth volume of The Solomon & George Chapbook Series features the art of Gloe Herbert Dyne and the poetry of Ken Autrey. When they decided to collaborate, the two worked together to select paintings and poems that in some way seem complementary. However, the poems were not written in direct response to the paintings; nor should the paintings be considered illustrations of the poems. Rather, The Wake of the Year simply combines a series of studies in two media from artists who grew up in Auburn and have remained close friends from an early age.
