PETER RUSSELL

Stony Heart

Steinernes Herz

"a brilliantly executed bilingual edition (English/German) which presents this poetic gem in what can only be described as a platinum setting. ... This limited edition is very special indeed. More to the point, however, is the fact that Russell is [here] at his lyrical best." (Acumen)

Bilingual edition of a new poem by this 80-year-old English poet. Stony Heart (24.5 x 16.6 cm; 12 pp.) was printed (the title page in two colours, black and reddish orange) by letterpress in Monotype Bodoni on off-white deckle-edged Magnani mould-made acid-free rag paper at the Stamperia Valdonega (the title page and the initials having been set by hand) in an edition of 225 copies, hand-sewn into printed cream Fabriano Ingres wrappers. 25 copies are signed and numbered (1-25) by the poet.
