CENTER BROADSIDES 2011 READING SERIES.
|
|
|
Twelve broadsides, each representing the work of an individual poet who gave a reading at The Center for Book Arts in New York, are enclosed in an artistic portfolio that not only provides protection but also appeals to the eye. As part of the Broadside Reading Series, a letterpress printer (sometimes the poet who gave the reading) creates a broadside of one of the author's poems that captures the essence of the verse and the story they told. Included are works by printers Susan Howe, Kimberly McClure, Barbara Henry, Alisa Ochoa, Roni Gross, Delphi Basilicato, Richard O'Russa, James Walsh, Nancy Loeber, Meg Quarton, and Amber McMillan and poets Susan Howe, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, Elizabeth Zuba, Jessica Elsaesser, Eileen Myles, CA Conrad, Douglas Crase, Dana Ward, John Yau, Paolo Javier, Corina Copp, and Carl Sesar. The broadsides are reserved for the yearly portfolios. The 2011 portfolio features a top opening that closes with a flap displaying the title in orange.

PASTORALE, WOOD-ENGRAVINGS BY LUCIEN PISSARRO, WITH AN IN...
by Pissarro, Lucien
One of 160 copies made on Batchelors Crown and Sceptre paper, quarter-bound in pre-war Fabriano Ingres printed sides, in a slipcase. In 1965, Orovida, the daughter of Lucien Pissarro who started the Eragny Press with his wife Esther in 1894, presented most of her father's wood-engravings, and his book of proofs, to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. This edition of some of Lucien's finest engravings was printed at the Whittington Press from the original blocks and was issued to mark an exhibition of the work of the Eragny Press at the Ashmolean in early 2011. Four engravings are printed in colour using a technique pioneered by Lucien using pale and subdued colours to build up images of great charm and subtlety. A unique memento of a much loved and collected early private press, whose small editions are increasingly hard to find.
