Beschreibung:

17 sheets [and] "Penelope worked with some guarantee of a plot...", 3 sheets, colour lithographs on Arches paper, each with manuscript verse by Heaney reproduced on different backgrounds by Perkins, some in different states, each signed and numbered by author and artist in pencil (limitations varying from 2 to 23), most also dated 18 April 1987 by Heaney, c.760 x 485 & vice versa, 2 tipped to thin card, loose, preserved in box, folio, 1987. (20) *** Robert Perkins is an artist, author and film-maker. The introduction to his website consists of the following quotation by Heaney: "Dear Rob, If I could be a symphony that would cover all the expressible and inexpressible, I'd be up to writing you the letter that I'd like to. Your work is out of this world, drawn out of this-worldness and a love of it, drawn towards a point beyond which offers a perspective. Heart-breaking, spirit-leveling, true to life. As Frost said, strongly spent is synonymous with kept. Blessings, Seamus".
