anthology
The Book of Admiration is a collection of fiction, memoir, poetry, and essay.
We asked ten writers to create anything they wanted – fiction, poetry, visual art, essay – as long as it focused on the book's theme and could fit within the space of ten pages. Each creator received six copies of the book, to share with whomever they like. Only 60 books will ever be published and distributed.
We wanted to see what could happen if we removed the pressure of scale and instead explored how the book would move in the world if it was a piece of art to cherish and pass on to folks the authors admired.
The Book of Admiration was published in 2022 by Kristy Hanson and Luke Finsaas, co-founders of Hafi Design.
