Number 13 of 25 copies. 10x8" loose sheets 1 24pp. housed in black paper box signed and numbered by Kirchenbaum. 14 mounted or full page photographs of the American Museum of Natural History. Pages curled some scattered foxing. Very good. A very interesting artist's book from Portland area writer and visual artist and daughter of Susan Weil Sara Kirschenbaum b. 1959. Consists of short pieces both poem and prose accompanied by photographs of the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The verso of the title sheet credits help from artists Christopher Rauschenberg Kirschenbaum's half brother Jan Håfström and her mother Susan Weil. The surreal and at times grotesque historical photographs detail the building of exhibits of mammoths elephants and other large creatures. Kirschenbaum has been published in literary journals such as Tin House and has had art exhibitions in Portland and Lucerne Switzerland. She has collaborated with Weil on at least one other artist's book Cycles of Poems which is held by only the National Museum of Women in the Arts according to OCLC. As far as we can see this project is not held and we find little mention of it elsewhere. . Sara Kirschenbaum unknown
