THE ANNUAL BIG ARSENIC FISHING CONTEST (U), JAN-JUNE 2016

 File — Box: 186, Folder: 4

Scope and Contents

This is a file of letters between me and Lila Sanchez, a designer at UNM Press, regarding the cover of the Big Arsenic book from January to June 2016. We went back and forth a lot, and Lila had amazing patience with me. She designed a wonderful cover. There are about 20 letters between Lila and me, and many Xeroxes of the cover art and design suggestions between us. The fish images on the cover were sent to me by my friend Dennis Haggerty on his letters to me over the years. He died before the book was published. Total of about 76 pages.
