The Wander Society
The Wander Society بقلم Keri Smith ... You are electing to join a secret underground movement. Membership will require you to conduct research on your immediate environment and complete a variety of assignments designed to creatively disrupt your everyday life. That is all you need to know for now. All else will be revealed in time. Society wants us to live a planned existence. The path of the wanderer is not this! The path of the wanderer is an experiment with the unknown. To be idle, to play, to daydream. The Wander Society offers us all a way to experience the joys and possibilities of unplanned time.

Keri Smith
Keri Smith is a Canadian author, illustrator and conceptual artist. According to her website, "The main focus of [Smith's] work/research is on creating what the writer Umberto Eco called 'Open works', pieces that are completed by the reader/user."Most of her books encourage readers to expand their scopes of creativity, such as in Wreck This Journal, where she has readers do things to the book itself rather than having readers simply draw or color within the book's pages. Besides Wreck This Journal, her other bestsellers include Mess and This Is Not A Book. She has also written for How Magazine.
Smith is also a freelance illustrator and has worked for Random House, The Washington Post, The New York Times, and The Boston Globe, as well as for Ford Motor Company, Gallison/Mudpuppy Press and Hallmark.
