Cassandra: A Poem.

Heebner, Mary (illus.)

Santa Barbara, CA: Simplemente Maria Press, 2019. Square octavo. (6)ff. booklet, + fourteen-panel accordion. One of twenty-five copies, signed by the illustrator, Mary Heebner, and the author, Stephen Kessler. The accordion pairs images from Heebner's collage series, Veiled/Unveiled, with lines of the poem "Cassandra," printed letterpress. The images are individually embellished with collage and pigment. The volume becomes, then, a tactile piece, complete yet fractured and unique, owing its unification to the artist's hand. The accompanying booklet contains the full poem, a description of the mythology of Cassandra, the colophon, and a quotation, along with a loose print of an image from Veiled/Unveiled, signed and titled in pencil. All housed in a handcrafted crimson zinc box, with a drawing etched onto the lid. Mint. With archival box. Prospectus laid in. Item #30007

Price: $4,000.00
