Earthship / Ian Hamilton Finlay; Alistair Cant., 1965

 Item
Identifier: CC-12477-12704
Scope and Contents

Nineteen cards printed with text at their bottom edge were bent into a curved shape and stapled together. This poem object can be positioned in different configurations to create the image of a ship that in Finlay's vision might be adapted for travel on land. The text includes such words as "fin, bow, number, sail, etc." as locations for the various aids to make this "Earthship." The cardboard box has a few waterstains but the poem object is undamaged. According to Paul Robertson (catalogue: he patted), only 25 of these poem objects might have been actually made with the printed box. 3 -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
