201122032603Claremont California: Scripps College Press 2011. Limited Edition. Stitched Binding. Fine. One of 103 copies folio size 28 pp. signed by the students and Kitty Marryatt. The publications by the students of the Book Arts and Typography Class at Scripps College are some of the most imaginative we have ever seen and this publication is no exception. <br /> <br /> The work was inspired by the the 13th-century poet Jalaud'din Rumil now known by most simply as "Rumi". Although a Muslim by faith his poetry "seeks to deal with the more universal aspects of the human condition. He discusses the aspects of existance encountered by all individuals and continues to make profound beautiful statements regarding even the most ortinary tasks and occurences." n.b from the book's bio of Rumi. <br /> <br /> The students in the Class chose a medieval text and provided their own commentaries as exegesis. This book unfolded as a poem by Rumi as interpreted by Coleman Barks with the students' commentaries. The visual images "were inspired by the geometric structures of medieval book imagery. The colors of the linoleum blocks reflect the preponderance of lapis lazuli blue crimson red and royal purple in medieval miniatures" n.b. from the Colophon. <br /> <br /> A true delight for both the eye and the soul.
