From the artist: "This whimsical and beautiful poem by former U.S. Poet Laureate Mark Strand celebrates the many virtues, joys, and challenges of candy. The monotypes by Wendy Mark were made especially for this edition and were reproduced from her originals using offset lithography."
Having received her Masters of Fine Arts from Columbia University, Wendy Mark has been producing wonderfully illustrative art primarily to coincide with poetical works. Not only has she worked with Mark Strand on this project, but she has worked with other authors such as Charles Simic and Paul Muldoon, among others.
