What differentiates his work are his abstract wood engravings incorporating color.

The chronological sequence of images is interwoven with commentary by both the artist and other contributors and each engraving includes specific documentation showing creation date, title and descriptive details. All of the wood engravings are printed from the original blocks by Jan Elsted, one of the most skilled printers of wood engravings, faithfully reproducing the extraordinary detail in Wagener's work. Simply put, this book is a tour de force of exceptional wood engraving and it is a "must' for any private press collector of this art form.______NOTE: Because of the size and weight of this edition, domestic shipping cost with UPS Ground is $35.

Softcover. Condición: Fine. Softcover. One of 120 copies Writes the press: Two of our Loose Canons pamphlets featuring neglected poets will be published in 2025: the first, a second edition of the poetry of Elinor Wylie from our earlier version of Loose Canons One, is expanded from 6 poems to 18; Loose Canons Two features poems by Edwin Arlington Robinson, with a focus on his long dramatic monologue 'Ben Jonson Entertains a Man from Stratford'. This revival of the Loose Canons series is devoted to refreshng the reputations of once celebrated poets and poems that over time have become blurred by distance, overlooked, or simply ignored.As will be the case with later additions to the series, each of these issues is intended to give a concise overview of the style and concerns of the poet in question. All the pamphlets will be hand-set in various types from the best editions of the texts, and each will offer a brief biographical note with other information as necessary. They will be sewn into a variety of cover papers and will be of a uniform size. The Loose Canons series will continue intermittently, but dependably. We intend them to provide a mix of writers in English from England, Canada, and America, and we may possibly introduce some translations from other languages as the series gather strength.
