 Item
Identifier: CC-28389-29596
Scope and Contents

The cover depicts a stone sculpture in the garden of Ian Hamilton Finlay. It illustrates a statement of Saint Just, which is carved on nine rocks, "Paths to enlightenment in a garden of ideas." An essay within this magazine by Alan Powers entitled "The Sparta of the North," describes the poet's garden in Lanarkshire as one of the significant creations of our time. He states that Finlay recreated a poetic, classical garden as a place of beauty, and a journey of the mind; complex schemes of iconography provide entertainment and painted a moral. The essay is illustrated with nine colored photographs. The Sackners visited the garden with their daughter Sara in 1980. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
