Dante's Inferno First Edition Proof Print: Ulysses II, 1978 - 1979

 Item — Folder 85: [Barcode: 31858072538428]
Identifier: CC-61145-10003912
Scope and Contents

This print is one of the proofs for the first edition of Phillips' Dante's Inferno. The completed prints were destroyed in a fire at the Editions Alecto studio and never published as an edition. Phillips subsequently redid the prints in a different manner although he borrowed some of the imagery from the first edition. The prints in a limited edition and a trade edition book were published by Phillips and Thames and Hudson, respectively. A Humument text of this image reads, "Already the dream of dreams he whispers - water blind imagination- speeding away piercing the dull - all came floating true men - o the very names - touch the sea -pouring past world to mountain -The green seen for a minute." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

She is a rarity among contemporary poets: an elderpractitioner of visual poetry and the art of the hand-made book, an emigre living in Vienna, a trained musicologist who wrote widely about classical composers, and finally a prolific creator of poems and drawings. She has never sought a wide readership nor pushed for the publication of her works and yet now, uch to her delight, readers and audiences are seeking her out. She has spent as much time in academic settings as in the worldsof performed music, museum art, and modern poetry, yet Mnatsakanova is not entirely at home in any one of these worlds. She is a restless, energetic creator whose work opens the boundaries between poetry and music...
