Title: Nightfall/A list of the broken
Description: "Both artists were moved by hearing about al-Mutanabbi Street, and created work specifically for this project - feeling very much in solidarity with the reaction. Armand Brint wrote the poems Nightfall & A list of the broken. Elizabeth Raybee built mosaics for each poem and made an accordion with two covers, so that both poems are equally featured. A List of the broken represents broken lives in a way unique to mosaics. Nightfall is glass-on-glass, appropriately done on a window rescued from a junk heap in New Orleans several months after hurricane Katrina; rebuilding a new life out of disaster"--Artist's statement from the Book Arts at the Centre for Fine Print Research, UK website.

Elizabeth Raybee has exhibited widely in museums and galleries, has been commissioned for many public mural projects and has work in several mosaic books, including Mosaic art now, Making mosaics, Public mosaics of San Francisco and Design sourcebook: mosaics. Armand Brint was Ukiah, California's first poet laureate. He has three books of poetry: Schools of light ('95), The league of slow cities ('01), and In the name of wonder ('13).
