Celebrating the musical legacy of Ghanaian Palm Wine musician Koo Nimo, Listen, Listen: Adadam Agofomma is a limited-edition, fine-press book and the inaugural publication of Take Time Press. Exclusively using handmade papers, most produced in Kumasi of botanicals harvested in the region where Koo Nimo lives, the finished piece includes hand-bound, letterpress-printed pamphlets, a specially produced musical CD, and a suite of intaglio and relief prints by Atta Kwami and Pamela Clarkson.

As designer and producer, I brought together a group of international artists working from Kumasi, Ghana; Madison, Wisconsin; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and London, England.

Listen, Listen: Adadam Agofomma is placed in 18 major book arts collections internationally including: Smithsonian Warren M. Robbins National Museum of African Art Library | Melville J. Herskovits Library of African Studies at Northwestern University | Harvard University Fine Arts Library | The Jack Ginsburg Artist Book Collection
