2001ref. 36752Bath: Old School Press 2001. Hardcover. Fine. Hardcover. Number 131 of 230 copies signed by the poet and illustrator. From the press: "For the fifth title in our series of the work of contemporary British poets we were fortunate to have the opportunity of printing an extended four-part poem by Poet Laureate emeritus Andrew Motion. He was England's Poet Laureate from 1999-2009. Writing of his work Motion says 'A Long Story assembled itself over several years into a loose sequence of four sections none of them rhymed and all are written in a very loose rambling rhythm. I began with the wish to identify certain memories in my childhood which I've always considered to be 'spots of time' - ie moments which have a self-contained interest and drama - and ended up with scenes which anticipate even predict certain moods and attitudes I have as an adult. 'To complement Motion's narrative style we turned once more to leading wood-engraver Simon Brett whose ability to tell a story in a single sinewy image we greatly admire and who cut four wood-engravings for the book.'' For this elegant book the text was hand-set in 14pt Fournier italic and printed on 170gsm Magnani mould-made paper. Brett's engravings were printed from the wood onto dampened paper. The book was bound by Rachel and Richard James. It is quarter-bound with yellow cloth on the spine with a rich dark green hand-made paper from the Larroque mill covering the boards black Canson end-papers and the title embossed in gold on the front cover. In fine condition. Measures 8 x 11 inches. Unpaginated 44 pages PRI/082823. Old School Press hardcover books

Foxed endpapers. Lacking scarce dust jacket. Condition: Very Good. The final installment in a trilogy of automatic writing spirit channelling books published by Otto Torney Simon following the death of his wife Anne Simon in 1916. While Otto acted as the material scribe the text centers Anne as the "surviving" intellect relaying to Otto descriptions of dying and the evolution of the human soul after death. She argues that the power of love is what will bring "celestial enlightenment" reframing a historically feminine trait as the governing force of the universe. She also focuses specifically on the evolution of the female soul describing the afterlife as free from the domestic and social constraints placed upon women. A fascinating example of automatic writing wherein a woman who would have been barred from spiritual/psychological leadership uses her living husband to transcend patriarchal structures. . Robert O. Ballou hardcover books
