wordless poemThe Center for Book Arts is hosting the “John Jacobsmeyer: More Than Words” exhibit.

According to the organization’s website, this program is a display of the 80+ wood engravings that make up a wordless poem called “More Than Words.” Each piece contains one or more American Sign Language (ASL) signs performed by a half human and half sheep creature.

Ultimately, Jacobsmeyer’s project features an ASL interpretation of the James Dickey’s poem “Sheep Child.” A closing date has been scheduled for April 4th.
