Antechamber

Antechamber

Maria Epes, 1976

Description

In producing Antechamber, poet and printer worked together in order to best present the poem and to create a book that is a beautiful object in itself. It is published in a small edition because of the commitment to good production and a limited budged.  The Poythress Press publishes to be involved in a collaborative process which is expensive in time, but perhaps the best product of bookmaking.
