Livre d'artiste. Eleven drypoints and aquatints by Stephanie Peek with selected texts by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. In English with Italian translations by Lucia Cucciarelli, published by Salvatore Mazza, Edizioni Canopo, Prato, Italy. Letterpress from handset Atheneum published by Franco Palagini, San Miniato, Italy, with drypoints printed by Robert Stevenson at University of California, Berkeley on Magnani paper. Twelve paired folios. Portfolio boxes, handmade in Italy, are covered in dark green Fabriano. Edition of 35. (10 x 14" folio in 11 x 15 x 2" box). 1999

Quiet, handsome, black on white prints – the gentle Italian landscape, birds in flight, starry night -visually complement the exaltations of the poem. This edition is understated yet powerful. The grand simplicity of the etchings, melodious Italian verse, and original English of San Francisco's Poet Laureate rest together companionably in this portfolio that is at once a reminder of the world's beauty and the soul's journey into form.
