Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Illustrated by Mel Kendricks (illustrator). Limited/Numbered Signed Edition. Written in 1917, this book compiles a year of fragments: daily observations, thoughts, musings, decisions, gains, losses, and moments that comprise William Carlos Williams' immediate view of his life and his other detached view as an observer of life. "I had no book in mind. For a year I used to come home and no matter how late it was before I went to bed I would write something. And I kept writing, writing even if it were only a few words, and at the end of the year there were 365 entries." That quoted from the Introduction by Lawrence Kart. After the author's quite lengthy Prologue, written September 1, 1918, Improvisations begins with its 27 chapters of jagged, poignant, intrusive observations: prose from a poet. William Carlos Williams (1883-1963) was, at his core, a physician, but also an Imagist poet, playwright, essayist, novelist, and inspiration to the Beat poets after his life was done. This is copy 65 of a limited edition of 300 numbered copies. Numbered and signed in pencil on the colophon by the illustrator Mel Kendricks. His woodcut illustrations are in his unique, bold style, showing the dark expanse of the block more than the cut image. This dark background is variegated by the rough, figured wood he chooses to use instead of the typical smooth-surfaced wood. Proof copies of the woodcut prints were photo-reduced to make polymer printing plates. Composed by Peter Stoelzl, the text type is Stymie Bold, and display type is Franklin Gothic. Type and polymer plates were letterpress printed on German mould made Zerkall paper. This square 4to book is 10 1/4" x 10 1/8" and bound in quarter, black, Morocco leather and thin, black cloth over boards. The cloth, front and back, is capped with wood veneer, laser-cut with a replica of a Kendrick illustration, and stained black. Red, block lettering to spine. Black, mould made pastedowns and endpapers. 106 pages, numbered and unnumbered. Clean and in quite Fine condition.; Woodcuts; Square 4to 9" - 11" tall; 106 pages; Signed by Illustrator.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Kendrick, Mel (illustrator). 10 inches square, 106 pages, including 42 unnumbered pages for the 21 leaves bearing the prints. The types are Stymie Bold for the text and Franklin Gothic for display, in Monotype and hand composition. The paper is German mouldmade Zerkall. Proofs of the woodblock prints were photographically reduced to approximately 62% and made into photopolymer plates. The type and plates were printed by letterpress in black ink. Red ink is used on the title page. The binding is a black goatskin spine with title stamped in red, with boards covered with laser-cut veneer replicas of woodblocks by Kendrick, inked in black. Numbered and signed by the artist. Edition of 300. Williams, one of the most important poets of this century, wrote this book of prose-poetry in 1917. He reflects on daily events over the course of a year, his readings, thoughts, observations. To these statements, made in language plain-spoken yet rising to the beauty and imagination of his poetry, he appended further comments or interpretations to make them more intelligible to others. An essay in which Williams explains himself as a figure within the modern movement was added as a prologue. The critic Lawrence Kart claims that the great poetry Williams achieved "would not have been possible without the eruptive prose of 'Kora in Hell'." The book includes prints by contemporary artist Mel Kendrick whose own work is in the modernist lineage. Twenty-one images from three series of woodblock prints, each involving seven separate blocks in the form of long vertical sheets that can be rolled up like scrolls, have been separated and each occupy the recto page of a leaf in the book, with pages of text in between. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
