Buch Erstausgabe
Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Athens. University of Georgia Press. First Edition/First Printing (full number line including 1 to copyright page). Soft covers. Standard paperback size. 79 pp. Condition is new. In this book-length series, poems with titles such as ""Illustrating the Theory of Interference"" and ""Illustrating the Construction of Railroads"" are paired with nineteenth-century engravings depicting phenomena from geology to astronomy to mechanics. Yet the poems relate to the images in an oblique rather than a direct way. Poteat uses this framework to construct a mysterious and engaging book that inhabits many worlds at once, bridging the real and the imagined, the traditional and the experimental, the surreal and the ordinary. As each diagram and scene gives rise to a poem that intertwines the life of German artist and printer J. G. Heck - imagined, as little is recorded - with Poteat's own, the book reveals a preoccupation with landscape that encompasses both the precision of Heck's carefully labeled sine waves and brass devices as well as the eeriness of his depictions of skeletal hands or dogs tearing apart a wounded boar. The covers will be protected with a new inert 100 micron archival quality acetate sleeve which is removable. Please contact us if you would like any more information or additional photographs.
