I have been meaning to paint a shelf full of poetry for years, but to give you an idea of how much I know about poetry, the only poems I can recite are those from Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends, which I memorized in 5th grade ("Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout / would not take the garbage out...".

So for this print I enlisted the expert help of Erik Heywood, owner of the amazing Book/Shop rare book store in Oakland, California. The collections he picked are both perfect and really lovely together. I've now added each and every one of them to my ever-expanding BOOKS I MUST READ list.

Framing & Sizing Info

We partner with our friends at Simply Framed to offer custom framing in your choice of frame, plus an appropriately-sized white mat and UV-shielding plexiglass. (You can see more details in our FAQ.)

Please note, if you order a framed 8 x 10" print or painting, it will arrive in a frame that is about 11.75 x 13.75". An 11 x 14" print or painting will be in a 16.75 x 19.75" frame, and a 16 x 20" in a 22.75 x 26.75" frame.

As all the frames are custom fit to the prints, framing your work adds 2-3 weeks to your delivery time, but it is SO worth it, we promise.
