The edition will be finished in time for Faulkner's birthday on Sept. 25. The author died in 1962, and is buried in Oxford. Each will include a print from an engraved plate of original artwork done specifically for this project by New Orleans-based artist John Scott, a McArthur Award winner. The wrappers, printed on English handmade papers, will include a commentary on the poem by fiction writer Guy Davenport of Lexington, Ky., also a McArthur Award winner. We all thought it would be a great idea to produce this poem on our hand presses.
