Paper of Live Flesh

Paper of Live Flesh is a declaration and a shared vision; a book that unfolds to reveal a rich textural world. Within it the artist and poet weave the incisive probing of line with a spirited and complex interrogation of language. This is the first United States publication for both the author and the artist.

Three poems by Juvenal Acosta; two chine collé etchings and three motif etchings by Derli Romero. Hand set in Goudy Bold and printed letterpress by Bill Kelly on Johannot paper. Etchings printed by the artist. Bound concertina style between boards covered with Moriki paper and Arches Black. Closed: 9 13/16" x 7 7/8". Open: 48 1/2" x 7 7/8". Edition of 55. 1990.
