Aggiungi al carrellodj. First Edition. Laid in is a photograph of the print found on p.146, with a blind embossed stamp, Geme's signature to its front margin, and her description to rear "Section VII Right Page - No. 85 1993". Quarto (27.5cm); brown cloth-covered boards with titling stamped in silver on spine; dustjacket; [5],6-168pp; black-and-whi…te photographic (halftone) illustrations throughout. Inscribed by photographer and poet on front endpaper to Nathaniel Tarn: "Dear Nathaniel - Have a message as a Fellow Showman!! Warm greetings flow the river! Love Juno Gemes" and "Dear Nathaniel, I've been reading; living in your poetry all week, hanging with you over the years, finding the 'correspondences' we have and looking forward to our continuing work into the future-- with love and admiration / Bob / Robert Anderson Mooney Creek, Spring 2006". Modest rubbing to cloth of lower corners and spine tail, and trace shelf-soil to covers; Very Good+. Dustwrapper has trivial surface wear with light crinkling; Very Good. Australian partners Adamson and Gemes co-established Paper Bark Press (1986) with Michael Wilding, and this is the couple's first collaborative publication of their works. Gemesfocuses her work on social history among Aboriginal Australians, and she was invited to photograph the National Apology in Canberra in 2008. This collection of verse is organized into five sections, each beginning with a selection of Gemes's full-page photographs, and includes Adamson's "Meshing Bends In The Light", "Green Prawn Map", "Songs for Juno", and "Rock Carving with Kevin Gilbert". While not explicitly marked as such, this copy is from the library of noted poet, translator, and anthropologist Nathaniel Tarn (1928-2024) and is inscribed to him by both the poet and photographer.
