201711347Rockport ME: Stagenhoe Press 2017. Artist's book one of 5 copies regular issue from a total issue of 15 all on BFK Rives each signed and numbered by the artist in the colophon. Page size: 8 x 8 inches; 8 leaves 16pp; including colophon. Bound by the artist: drum-leaf binding of blue-grey cloth over boards with tan cloth spine duotone print artist self-portrait used throughout book edged in tan inset into front panel housed in blue-gray cloth over boards slipcase. Printed letterpress by the artist in Baskerville Old Face and Century Schoolbook at Maine Media College in a variety of point sizes in blue each page with a series of 4-3-2-1 dots printed in tan in lower right corner of each recto. The artist notes that her poem is "broken up throughout the book and the stilted structure of the verse speaks to the awkward nature of the phone call it describes." The words and tone of the poem are unsparing and relate the desire to be known to those closest to us and the ensuing sadness when we realize this is not possible. The author / artist takes the reader / viewer on an intimate journey highlighted by the use of her self-portrait printed as a duotone on vellum between the last two lines of the poem followed by the same image printed in pale grey with the last line of the poem below the artist's uncompromising gaze. The text is quick and to the point and relevant to us all. Beautifully accomplished this is a wonderful example of an idea made concrete by one artist's talent. Stagenhoe Press unknown books
1926R5107Moscow: Uzel 1926. Limited Edition. Paperback. Near Fine. Original grey wraps printed paper label tipped onto front cover; pp. 28. From a limited edition of 700 copies among the smallest print runs of any book in the Flegon collection. OCLC locates 5 copies. Alex Flegon founded the Flegnon Press in London becoming the first independent Russian-language publisher in the West -- his rivals including YMCA Press were largely subsidized by various political organizations notably the CIA. Vendor's mark on last leaf; some light rubbing along edges of covers; otherwise a lovely copy. <br/><br/>Alec Flegon 1924-2003 an emigre from Romania became a controversial London-based publisher of samizdat literature and Soviet trade directories during the Cold War. He was the first to publish Bulgakov's "Heart of a Dog" and Solzhenitsyn's "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" and he later published four Russian-language versions of Pasternak's "Dr. Zhivago" including one under a Moscow imprint lest Russian buyers be accused of importing anti-Soviet literature. His remarkable success at repeatedly getting manuscripts out of the Soviet Union led to the widespread view that he must have had contacts in the KGB and he used this reputation to his advantage garnering free publicity for his publications. He was accused of copyright infringement and/or piracy on more than one occasion the most famous example being his feuds with Solzhenitsyn and Svetlana Stalin. Nonetheless his perseverance made him an important figure in the publishing history of Russian literature in the West -- he was the first independent Russian-language publisher in the West and remained so for decades. His rivals were largely subsidized by various political organizations notably the CIA. Uzel paperback books
