Book Synopsis Winter Poems from Eagle Pond by : Donald Hall
Download or read book Winter Poems from Eagle Pond written by Donald Hall. This book was released on 1999. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1983 to 1998, poets Donald Hall and Jane Kenyon sent out a letterpress broadside poem each Christmas, printed by William Ewert of Concord New Hampshire. They were illustrated by Mary Azarian and Barry Moser, with calligraphy by R.P. Hale. In 1999, Wings Press collected these broadside poems and published them in a limited edition chapbook printed on linen paper. The cover stock--handmade by Austin, Texas, papermaker Kristin Kavanagh--incorporated red maple leaves from Eagle Pond, gathered by Donald Hall's grandchildren on an autumn day in 1997. The cover was printed by Dr. Paul Christensen of College Station, Texas, using a 12x18 Chandler & Price sheet-fed letterpress; illustrations include wood cuts by Barry Moser and leaf prints made from leaves collected at Eagle Pond. Three hundred copies of Winter Poems from Eagle Pond were numbered, signed, and dated by the author. The book was designed and hand sewn by Wings Press publisher, Bryce Milligan, a long-time friend and correspondent of Hall's. This is truly the perfect Christmas gift for any serious lover of poetry.
