About This Item
Z Press, 1987. Trade Paperback. Good. Dennis, Donna. Signed by Author. Book shows wear to covers, edge and corner wear, 1/2"" open surface tear top spine, scuffing. Binding is solid and square, text/interior is clean and free of marking of any kind. Signed by author on title page below printed name, with additional inscription ""For Kirby"" and signed and dated Sept 2, 1987. 167 pages with artwork by Ms. Dennis throughout, author photo at back. Edition limited to 3000 copies. Smells slightly of Nag Champa incense. Kenward Elmslie's poetry and prose is often combined with the graphical work of other artists. A collection of his writing, Motor Disturbance (1971), won the Frank O'Hara Award for Poetry in 1971. He was awarded the National Endowment of the Arts Award for Power Plant Sestina (1967) and the Ford Foundation Grant. In 1973 Elmslie began work as editor and publisher of Z Magazine and Z Press, working to promote the work of other New York School artists such as John Ashbery, Ron Padgett, James Schuyler, and perhaps most extensively, Ken Tisa. Elmslie�s work with graphic artists such as Brainard combined poetry with art to emphasize their interconnectedness; his work in theatre demonstrates his commitment to art as a whole, not only to one medium.
