Summary
Calligraphic manuscript lettered throughout in black Roman miniscules on the recto pages, Waters has complemented this direct reading of the poem by presenting each stanza as a double-page spread, the verso pages being in a dreamy style of interlacing capitals, lettered in white, these same white letters appearing clustered around the black writing, allowing the reader to linger on certain phrases. In contrast with this striking black and white spread, the first line of each stanza is displayed in a large italic, lettered in dark red gouache, which weave in and out of the other portions of text. An extremely handsome and appealing presentation of this poem, calligraphed on oatmeal colored paper, which lends itself to the blending of the three tones of color. Bound by Peter Waters in iridescent Japanese cloth, housed in a linen dropback box.
Signed by Julian Waters and dated 1991.
