tender buttons. the mock ups.

Based off of the critiques I had last week, I focused my attention to the items that were mentioned. I tried three different binding methods, but still am unsure as to which I should use for sure; I may still continue to look for a better one. I still need to figure out if there is a better way to show the transition of the poems, or if it works well enough as is, that not only is engaging but also helpful.
