Lawrence Ferlinghetti / Coney Island of the Mind with Prospectus Limited Signed

Description: A Coney Island of the Mind with Prospectus Author: Ferlinghetti, Lawrence; Kitaj, R. B. (Illust.) Title: A Coney Island of the Mind with Prospectus Publication: San Francisco: The Arion Press, 2005 Edition: Limited Edition Description: Hardcover. Twenty-nine poems from one of the most beloved poetry books in America are here letterpress printed on mouldmade Hahnemuhle Bugra paper, quarterbound in gray-brown cloth with printed paper boards in matching slipcase, in an edition limited to 300 numbered and 26 lettered copies, this being number 197, with each copy signed by both poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti (1919-2021) and artist R. B. Kitaj (1932-2007), who provided two drawings in charcoal, one a portrait of the poet in profile that serves as the frontispiece, the other a portrayal of the poet as if on a plummeting rollercoaster, printed on the cover. "The layout of the pages is generous for the presentation of the poetry. The scale of the pages and care in hand composition has allowed for refinements to the typography and placement of lines in Ferlinghetti's 'open field' style. With the cooperation of the poet, Arion Press has achieved a distinct improvement to the text over the restrictive settings found in the trade editions. In accord with the title and the aesthetics of the poetry and the artworks, the design of the book is purposely and playfully disorienting....The physical book pays homage to the durability of the poetry and the poet, a grand old man of conscience for this world." — ProspectusEdition limited to 300 numbered copies for sale and 26 lettered copies for complimentary distribution, this being number 197, with each copy signed by Lawrence Ferlinghetti and R. B. Kitaj. 16 1/4" X 10 3/8". [48pp]. Bound in pictorial paper over boards with spine backed in gray-brown cloth, with paper title label to spine, in matching slipcase with cloth to edges and paper to sides. Gentle rubbing to corners of slipcase, with very small neat tear to cloth inside of lower entry point. Gentle rubbing to paper at corners of binding, with perhaps a bare hint of the scent of cigar smoke to pages. Accompanied by the publisher's prospectus. This is the 74th publication of The Arion Press. Very good +.
