Title: Kings
Description: "A folio collection of poems by Matthew Dickman, Michael Dickman and Mark Strand. Each poem has been previously published and re-printed with the permission from the authors. The project originated as a collaboration between the poets; the titles of each of their poems revolve around the title 'King.' From there, we designed a cover wrap and individual double-sided letter pressed broadsides. In terms of design, the goal of this project was to create a new space for already published poems, to adhere to their original design, but to enhance them through a new lens, and overall to celebrate these poems with the poets themselves. Every very step of this project was constructed by hand: each cover and broadside were cut, scored and pressed with care and diligence"--Publisher's website.
