Scope and Contents

One half of this publication is devoted to Trans/Prose, the musical production based on the text of La Prose du Transsiberien et de la petite Jehanne de France by Sonia Delaunay and Blais Cendrars. The original score is by Matthew Suttor and the libretto is by Timothy Young. The latter mentions in his forward that the original copy of La prose in the Beinecke Library had been in the collection of Marvin and Ruth Sackner. Trans/Prose is to be performed at Yale in 2008. The second part of the book serves as the catalogue for two exhibitions and a conference related to poetry, art and the book. The icons on the "bookmark appear throughout the exhibitions to call attention to the thematic relationships between books featured in both exhibitions." This work is stored with Delaunay & Cendrars' facsimile of the "Transsiberian Railway." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
