Limited Edition Broadside Featuring Poetry By Robert Sund Illustrated and With Calligraphy From Fellow Fishtown Artists Bo Miller and Steve Herold
Sund, Robert. Miler, Bo, illustr. Shack Work. [Tangram Press]. [Berkeley, CA]. 1990.
A copy of the 1990 limited edition broadside featuring the poem Shack Work by notable Northwestern poet and Fishtown resident Robert Sund, which originally appeared in his collection Shack Medicine also published the same year by Tangram Press. Devoted to his craft above comradery, Sund established himself down river from the main Fishtown settlement in a 10 by 9 foot hand built shack of his own devising (“filled with the simple beauties of stone, wood, pottery, and paper art”) where he lived and worked for 11 years. Created after the destruction of both the cabin and Fishtown, this broadside represents both a collaboration and a continued connection between the community members with the poem by Robert Sund being elevated by original artwork by Bo Miller and calligraphy from Steve Herold. It was limited to 100 copies.
Three copies found in OCLC as of March 2024.
Single sided broadside on laid paper. Wear to top and bottom edges. Very good.
