Stone Eye
5 August - 6 September 2002
Richard Taylor, Kentucky's former poet laureate, and Gray Zeitz, letterpress printer and publisher of Larkspur Press, have produced the collection of poetry, Stone Eye. Canadian artist Wesley Bates was invited to cut wood engravings for the book.
Two editions of Stone Eye were printed. Six hundred copies were printed on Mohawk Superfine paper and fifty-five on dampened Biblio. Some were hand-bound by Carolyn Whitesel and are offered for sale. Thirty-one copies of both editions in sheets were hand bound by Guild members for the 2002 Midwest Chapter of the Guild of Bookworkers exhibit, which will travel from March through December 2002 throughout the Midwest, including the Guild of Book Workers' Standards of Excellence 2002 at Minnesota Center for Book Arts.
The exhibit is accompanied
by an interactive multimedia CD-ROM catalog and a small abbreviated catalog.
Pam Rups, computer multimedia developer, produced the interactive CD catalog
which includes reading by the poet, views of Kentucky and music by The
Brook Farm String Band to complement the exhibition of bindings of Richard
Taylor's poetry in Stone Eye.
