DREAM LIFE is a limited-edition selection of poetic collages by Eloisa Amezcua, entrusted to Drop Leaf Press editor Jennifer S. Cheng for collating and assembling in four distinct volumes, with only the request to be surprised. The materials and process of assembly echo the nest-like textures and sensibilities of Amezcua’s collage practice in gathering her dreams. Each collage is printed on a neutral palette of heavy coverstock, handmade paper, rice paper, or heavy vellum. The papers are variously sized and enclosed in a glassine envelope. Each envelope features a sewn embellishment made with scrap materials from Cheng’s own environment.

NOTE: This is a limited-edition run. In keeping with Amezcua’s desire for surprise, book buyers will receive one randomly selected edition out of the four.
