réf. 9779Newark VT: Janus Press 2018. Original Wrappers. Fine binding. Quarto. 2 24 ll. illus. Limited edition of one hundred numbered copies. Signed by Dawes and Gregg at the colophon. In a glued leaf binding in printed Canal paper covers. Gregg's drawings have been digitally printed here with Dawes's holographic poems letterpress printed from polymer plates around the drawings. Accompanying this is a smaller french-fold chapbook printed with matching foliation all housed in clamshell with maple wood sides in a slipcase with printed paper label. A fine copy. The chapbook offers a transcription of the holographic poems in the main work-though Dawes's handwriting is plenty legible. Additionally a short "Poet's Note" at the beginning of this chapbook describes his process of writing these poems in response to Gregg's drawings of Vallarta. He writes: "The poems collected here represent the most exciting part of making poems for me which is writing the first draft in that breakneck pace of someone in search of what a poem is offering and doing so with faith that it will eventually reveal itself to me." And of this particular collection of poems Dawes makes a fascinating observation: "I write to understand how I have been moved by the art." A beautiful idea searching for understanding through writing. A wonderful and accidental or perhaps inspired collaboration between the founder of the Vermont Studio Center and the Ghanaian poet.

réf. 10880Newark VT: Janus Press 1992. Broadside. Broadside. 24" x 17." Limited edition one of 90 copies. Signed by Lopez. Printed dry in black and blue on pulp painting landscape made from kozo gampi and abaca fibers. A fine copy. A beautiful except from Lopez's Arctic Dreams the pulp painting is a inspired illustrations to Lopez's sentiment: "Whatever evaluation we make of a particular stretch of land no matter how accurate or profound it finally proves inadequate. The land retains an identity of its own still deeper and more subtle than we can know. Our obligation toward it then becomes simple: to approach with an uncalculating mind with an attitude of regard. To try to sense the range and variety of its expression-its weather and colors and animals. To intend from the beginning to preserve some of the mystery within it as a king of wisdom to be experienced not questioned. And to be alert for its openings for that moment when something sacred reveals itself within the mundane and you know the land knows you are there." Fine Janus Press - Fifty Years p. 46.

1521In -4°, cc. 58, piena pergamena e titolo manoscritto al dorso. Frontespizio in cornice xilografica, iniziali e marca editoriale di Mazzocchi in fine. Prima edizione della traduzione in latino di quest’opera di Senofonte fatta da Bessarione (Trebisonda 1403 - Ravenna 1472), Cardinale, teologo e umanista, intorno agli anni ’40 del secolo precedente. Si presume che a scoprire il manoscritto sia stato lo stesso Giano Vitale, autore della lettera dedicatoria che apre il volume. L’opera di Bessarione contribuisce in maniera decisiva alla rivalutazione delle opere di Senofonte, autore pressoché dimenticato nel Medioevo, avvenuta nel Rinascimento, opere che forniranno, relativamente al mondo socratico, una cospicua alternativa alla rappresentazione che ne dà Platone nei suoi Dialoghi. Bellissimo il frontespizio incorniciato (riprodotto in Mortimer, “Italian 16th century books”, p. 583). Adams X-43 Title page in a xilographic frame, initials and Mazzocchi’s printer’s mark at the end. The first edition of the latin translation of this Xenophon’s work, made by Bessarion (1403-1472), a Cardinal and a humanist, in the first half of the XV century. The manuscript was probably discovered by the very Giano Vitale, author of the dedication letter at the beginning of the volume. Bessarion’s work is a crucial contribution to the revaluation of Xenophon’s work, happened in the Renaissance. A very charming title page (reproduced in Mortimer, “Italian 16th century books”, p. 583) Adams X-43
