Prose of the Trans-Canada / Beaulieu, Derek., 2011

 Item
Identifier: CC-52423-73548
Scope and Contents

According to the publisher, "in 1913 Blaise Cendrars created his monumental Prose of the Trans-Siberian, a milestone in the history of artists books and visual poetry. When the intended edition of 150 copies was laid end-to-end they measured the same length as the height of the symbol of Parisian Modernity, the Eiffel Tower. derek beaulieu's prodigious Prose of the Trans-Canada responds to Cendrars' legacy in a 16" x 52" visual poem. When all 150 copies of this limited edition are placed end-to-end, the resultant length is the same as the symbol of Calgarian Modernity, the Calgary Tower. A towering moment in beaulieu's on-going exploration of letraset as a medium for concrete poetry, Prose of the Trans-Canada, issued as Moments Cafe No. 8, is published in a strictly limited edition of 150 copies." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
