Rimbaud / Verlaine 6.5 x 9.25"; 12 pages. Produced at the University of Iowa's Center for the Book using handset Bembo types, wood type and photopolymer plates onto hand-dyed Fabriano paper. English translation of Rimbaud's "Marine" (1886) by Wyatt Mason; Norman R. Shapiro translated Verlaine's "Marine" (1866). Brank plays typographically with two poems both entitled "Marine" written by two French poet-personalities of the late 19th century who were colleagues and lovers. On the pages of this book, their words and works become as entangled as they ever were. |
