collaborated with Watson on Slow Down and
Live, a limited handmade edition of 26 copies she produced. Ed’s series of
“I Want To Quit My Day job and . . .” poems were illustrated with Watson’s
drawings of envelope security patterns. The book was printed on scrap office
paper from Watson’s former day job. With Georgia Lee McElhaney, poet laureate
of Shepherdstown, WV, Ed co-edited an anthology of 27 area poets to celebrate
the town’s 250th Anniversary in 2012. The book was designed and
produced by Watson. An upcoming book project will include three Shepherdstown
long poems by Ed with design, illustration, and production by Watson. Ed and
his wife Christine Duewel live in Shepherdstown, WV, where he is poetry editor
of the town’s all-volunteer quarterly print and online tabloid Good News Paper, which he cofounded with
Executive Editor Randall Tremba in 1979.
