Poems by Jennifer Boyden
Prints and drawings by Frank Boyden
Price $6,000
Evidence of Night features
a collection of eleven poems by Jennifer Boyden, and ten prints (variously
copperplate drypoints, aquatints, sugarlift, and line etchings) and three
original drawings and watercolors by Frank Boyden. The pacing and organization
of this volume was inspired by the sonata form, the melody instruments in
this case being the language of the poet, the images of the artist, and
the blank page. The poems and images engage in a series of conversations
with each other, shaping a meditation on the darknesses that inform and
sing through us. While the text and prints are identical in each copy, the
suite of drawn/painted images by Frank Boyden render each book in the edition
unique. The text is set in Centaur and printed letterpress on Hahnemühle
Copperplate; end pages are Japanese taiten; and the sewn-boards binding
features wooden covers of dyed pomele sapele and a leather and linen drop-away
spine. Each book is signed by the artist and poet, and presented in a silk-
and cork-lined Solander box. Evidence of
Night was designed, printed, and produced by Ian
Boyden. Limited edition of fifteen unique copies. Dimensions: 15 x 8.5 inches.
48 pages.
