Poetry in artist books


Circle press, in London, have made their name producing beautiful and fascinating limited edition artist books. I highly recommend you take a look at their site, as quite a bit is devoted to poetry. The following is from the book delicious babies:



Author: Shuttle, Penelope
Artist: Legge, Willow

Eight blind-embossed illustrations carved from linoleum for a previously published poem. Text printed in letter-press in blue and red in 12 pt Baskerville. 85 signed copies: 16 pp 30 x 20 cm on Somerset mould-made paper, sewn as French-fold sections into thick blue card covers with a hand-made wraparound cover.
London, 1996
