HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - Ken Smith was one of the most significant voices in post-war British poetry, known for his grit and linguistic precision. John Christie, a filmmaker and artist associated with the legendary Circle Press, is renowned for his ability to translate literary rhythm into visual form. This specific title is a 'sleeper' in the Circle Press bibliography; notably, it was omitted from the 'Cooking the Books' retrospective catalogue, making it a critical acquisition for completeness in a fine press or British poetry collection. Its recognition at Leipzig cements its status as a document of international book art excellence during the transition from traditional letterpress to modern conceptual book design. SUBJECTS: British Poetry, Book Art, Circle Press, Screenprints, Fine Press, International Book Art, Artist's Book, Signed Editions, Limited Editions, Livre d'Artiste. Signed.
