About This Item
Hopewell, NJ: Pied Oxen Press, 2017. First edition of this 501 line poem, hand-printed in Frederick Goudy's 18 point Monotype Garamont 248 on Stonehenge paper in an edition of 65 copies, copies numbered 21-60 constituting the regular issue (as described above), signed by the poet and printer. Only 34 copies of the regular issue are for sale. The poem was written in response to "the cycle - within the Wheel of Life - of the six realms in Buddhist philosophy: hell realm, hungry ghost or preta realm, animal, human, warring god, and blissed-out god realm." In conjunction with the publication, Waldman and the Chilean poet, artist, and filmmaker, Cecilia Vicuña, together with Waldman's son, the musician and composer Ambrose Bye, recorded a performance based on Extinction Aria. Each copy of the publication will include a download card allowing access to the digital recording. As new, at publication price. Folio, illustrated, the frontispiece and tailpiece representing two different versions of the Kalachakra monogram, original Belgian linen over Baltic birch plywood, the text pages wrapped in Indian homespun and handloom wild Mulberry or Bhagalpur silk fabric and Nepalese silk yarn in the manner of a Tibetan sutra, in a cotton buckram book cloth-covered clamshell-style box. As new, at publication price.
