Il Miglior Fabbro is how T. S. Eliot termed Ezra Pound the best craftsman. This volume is all the more remarkable for the fact that Pound knew no Chinese. Yet these translations of eighteen medieval poems, mainly by Li Po (A.D. 70I-762), are acknowledged masterpieces. Pound worked from notes by Ernest Fenollosa, a great American scholar of Oriental literature and art. These notes Pound turned to poetry, imbued with the scent and flavor of their Chinese originals. Italian-born artist Francesco Clemente, as well, feels the magnetic pull of the East. There have been scores of books and articles by and about Clemente; and exhibitions of his art all over the world, including a large 1990 show at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. As the organizer of the Philadelphia exhibit wrote, Clemente s art resonates between intensities of the cerebral and the sensual. Especially here, in these seven exquisite color woodcuts. Seven color woodcuts by Francesco Clemente. Edition limited to 300 numbered copies. Each book signed by Francesco Clemente. Each color of Clemente s seven illustrations has each been cut into wood blocks. These, in turn, were printed on Ogawashi paper from Japan. The text is printed on the same paper, on one side only, with each page carefully folded over by hand so that the blank sides remain invisible. The volume is bound in pale blue Japanese linen. One Volume, 8 x 12 inches. As the publisher, we unconditionally guarantee that all books are authentic and the condition is As New (NOS).…
