	Current Events


	From March 2nd through April 14th 2012 The Dalet Gallery in Philadelphia dedicated its space to the many aspects of Peckham's work — not only prints (the dark, mystical ones containing dark poems and the colorful abstract ones that support haiku) but also collages, constructions and some quirky items of wearable art.

	Prints of Peckhams were included in the A4Printmakers exhibition, to travel widely after the first showing in Wales, GB.
	Two volumes of collected prints, haiku and the haiga that contain them are collected in very limited editions (7 each) and a third, Haiga Volume 3 is soon to be available. Each book contains 15 hand-pulled prints, texts in letterpress and covers silk-bound and decorated by unique collages. The first of each volume goes to my archives at The Harry Ransom Center and others are being circulated via rare book dealers and my studio.
	Haiga Volumes 1 and 2 were reviewed in the January 2012 issue of *The Journal of the Print World. For more information see BOOKS*.
	The full set of Confessional Self-Portraits were featured in issue 5 of *Carrier Pigeon*, a classy, elegant new arts and literature publication well worth looking into at www.carrierpigeonmag.com. Each issue contains an original work by a selected artist either as an enclosure, cover or part of the magazine bound in (a fold-out insect’s wing, etc.) and several "portfolios" either representing an artist or of an artist’s illumination of a text. The whole is stunning, I am honored to have been invited and if you are reading this it should be of interest to you.
	During Peckham’s solo at Instituto Peruano Norteamericano in 2009 she did readings and from the texts in the prints exhibited and other translations. And from this was asked if she would publish a book. That book, *Recording Loss/Registro de una pérdida*, was published by the museum in late July and launched at the Feria Internacional de Libros. The press was wonderful despite the competition of books from many countries submitted for review: readings in both languages were arranged and many clips appeared on TV. A limited number of copies of the book are available from the author and we are awaiting publication in the US and, perhaps, Great Britain and Spain.
