Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Printing. Random foxing, otherwise light wear; glassine Dust Jacket light chips. Crisp hardcover. ; Printed and bound by Clarke & Way, New York. Fine press poetry by Iowa poet. Biographical Note: John Charles Kemmerer was a poet and printer who worked in an engineering firm to support himself and his family. Born on a farm in Guthrie County, Iowa in 1901, he developed a devotion to writing poetry and to the art and craft of printing during his teenage years. He attended Grinnell College from 1919-1923, starting in the engineering course, but getting his degree in English and History. During his college years he worked at a Grinnell newspaper printing office, had poetry published in student publications, served on the staffs of the Malteaser and the 1923 Cyclone, and was the class poet. After graduation he received his master's degree from Harvard and during the rest of the 1920s studied at Columbia University and wrote short stories, plays, a novel, and poetry. In 1929 he married Ruth Chamberlain (class of 1922) and the following year began working for the firm of consulting engineers in New York City at which he was to spend his entire career. But it was poetry and printing that was most important in his life. In the early 1930s he studied typography in night courses at New York University, built his own hand press, and began publishing his own books, the first in 1933 while at NYU. In 1950 he purchased a weather-beaten farmhouse in rural Connecticut and moved his presses there. From 1967-81 he published sixteen books of poetry in limited editions of less than one hundred copies, one autobiographical sketch, and had one book of poetry, Wild plum tree, published by Carroll Coleman at the Prairie Press in Iowa City." - Grinnell College Libraries.; 0 pages.…

Paperback. Condition: New. In 1976, Robert Adams shot "Fort Collins, Colorado," a nighttime picture of a lone tree in a Colorado parking lot, the crescent moon hanging in the sky above. More than 30 years earlier, Ansel Adams had captured "Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico," showing a magnificent vista of desert scrub and clustered buildings, snow-capped mountains in the distance, the full moon majestically presiding in the expansive sky overhead. These two pictures could be neither more different nor more similar; nor could the younger Adams have made his photograph without knowledge of his greatly admired predecessor's. If Ansel Adams created singular images in search of a platonic ideal of nature, Robert Adams explored repetition and conformity; both were responding, in their own personal and aesthetic way, to the landscape of the American West. The first book to juxtapose bodies of work by these two 20th-century master photographers, Reinventing the West reveals how their photographs reflect changing attitudes toward the western landscape and the natural world. Edited by Joseph N. Newland.Essays by Allison Kemmerer and John Stilgoe. Introduction by Adam D. Weinberg. Paperback, 83 pages, 39 b&w.…
