Tutti is a full-length travel journal developed from notebooks written across three years of travel in eight countries. The book gathers field notes, observations, and fragments of daily life into a cohesive narrative object exploring movement, attention, and the interior experience of travel.
Independently written, designed, and produced, the project reflects a commitment to self-publishing as a durable form of literary and visual practice. The first print run of 250 copies—produced with boutique printer Bookmobile in Minneapolis—sold out through direct orders shipped to readers across the United States and internationally. The book features a foreword by novelist Simon Van Booy and was praised by former U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo as “the best kind of travel journal.”
