The paper is German mould-made Schiller. The binding, done in-house, is hand-sewn, with a tan goatskin spine, titling blind-stamped, and brown cloth sides with an inset oval on the front cover holding a print of an Artin watercolor drawing of the Omphalos stone. "Stone from Delphi", poems with classical references by Seamus Heaney (1939-2013), selected and with an introduction by Helen Vendler and with sixteen watercolor drawings by Wendy Artin. This was the last book of poetry published during the lifetime of Seamus Heaney, a Noble Laureate in Literature. An exhibition of the book, prints, and original watercolor paintings by Wendy Artin was held at the American Academy in Rome, while Heaney was Poet-in-Residence in the spring of 2013. He died four months later. The idea for the selection came from Helen Vendler, who made the intial choices of poems with classical themes and then conferred with Heaney. Wendy Artin, an American watercolor artist living in Rome, was recommended for the project by the painter Eric Fischl. The type chosen is based on the fifteenth-century roman of Aldus Manutius, used for his "Hypnerotomachia Poliphili" of 1499, thought by many to be the most beautiful illustrated book of the Renaissance. The watercolors are reproduced same size. Issued in an edition of 300 numbered copies (plus 26 lettered copies hors de commerce).

Hardcover. Condizione: New. LeWitt, Sol (illustratore). Limited Edition. Square, 10 7/8" by 10", 128 unnumbered pages. The type is 24-point Deepdene, handset, with smaller sizes in Monotype composition by Mackenzie & Harris for subsidiary matter. The drawings were scanned to make negatives for photopolymer plates. The paper is Pescia, a mould-made sheet from the Magnani mill in Italy. The binding, done in-house, is hand-sewn, in full gray cloth printed by letterpress with a design that is an enlarged reference to elements in the artist's drawings, and titled on the front, back, and spine. The volume is enclosed in a darker gray cloth slipcase that features the same front and spine titling as on the book. The volume is signed by both the poet and the artist. This was the first of two volumes of Heaney's poetry published by Arion Press (the second being "Stone From Delphi", 2012). Seamus Heaney (1939-2013) was lecturing at the University of California, Berkeley in 1999. Through Helen Vendler we invited him to come to San Francisco to visit Arion Press and have lunch with us on South Park. On February 9, he arrived bearing a present, a copy of the manuscript of a translation he had just made of a Pushkin poem about the legendary poet Arion, who, in Ovid's "Metamorphoses", is saved from the sea by a dolphin. We printed the poem as a keepsake for Arion subscribers in 2002. Hoyem proposed to Heaney that Arion Press publish a deluxe limited edition of his forthcoming translation of "Beowulf" with facing Old English. His publishers, Faber & Faber and Farrar, Straus & Giroux, had intended to use only the translation. Heaney took the idea back to his publishers and they agreed to add the Old English text, which obviated the rationale for the limited edition. Vendler prevailed upon Heaney to allow us to instead produce a limited edition of his most important series of poems, "Squarings". Hoyem approached Sol LeWitt (1928-2007) to do four prints for the four sections of twelve poems each. Instead, the artist offered to do forty-eight drawings, one for each of the poems, as squares with underlying patterns and overlying scribbles. Please note that this copy is marked as "Display I", but is still in as-new condition. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
