Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Hardcover. Number 264 of 300 copies signed by the poet and photographer. This compelling book was created as a collaborative project between Presidential Inaugural Poet Richard Blanco and contemporary landscape photographer Jacob Bond Hessler. In it, Blanco's powerful poetry is juxtaposed with Hessler's evocative photographs. From the Prospectus: "Blanco's poems and Hessler's photographs together investigate the visible and invisible boundaries of race, gender, class, and ethnicity, among many others; they challenge the physical, imagined, and psychological dividing lines - both historic and current - that shadow America and perpetuate an us vs. them mindset by inciting irrational fears, hate, and prejudice. In contrast to the current narrowing definition of an America with very clear-cut boundaries, Blanco and Hessler cross and erase borders. As artists, they tear down barriers to understanding by pushing boundaries and exposing them for what they truly are - fabrications for the sake of manifesting power and oppression pitted against our hopes of indeed becoming a boundary-less nation in a boundary-less world." Bound in black cloth with silver design across the covers and silver title to spine. Printed with Gotham and Baskerville types on Mohawk Superfine Cover, Ultra White, Eggshell paper. Presswork was executed by Puritan Press. Housed in a red cloth slipcase. Accompanied by the prospectus. In fine condition. Oblong measuring 9.75 x 14 inches. Unpaginated. PRI/071922.
