Watkins, Vernon. Taliesin And The Mockers.
Llandogo The Old Stile Press 2004 0907664679 / 9780907664673 Limited Edition Hardcover Fine Illustrated by Glenys Cour
Limited to 225 copies, numbered and signed by Gwen Watkins and Glenys Cour. The text paper is Fabriano Tiziano and the type used is Omega. The collage images were printed by way of blocks made at The Old Stile Press. The case-binding is by The Fine Bindery and involves imagery by the artist printed at The Old Stile Press.
From the publisher:
In his commendation, written to be printed in this book, Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, says that the intensely disciplined beauty of Vernon Watkins poetry is one of the still largely undiscovered treasures of twentieth century British literature. For Katherine Raine, Watkins was a singer born. He saw how light is woven out of the darkness, life out of death, to perfect a whole greater than either. This beautiful poem (redolent of the Genesis creation story) has long been a favourite of the artist Glenys Cour who, with her sculptor husband, Ronald, was part of the famous group in Swansea that included Vernon Watkins and his close friend Dylan Thomas. Her richly powerful collage images help to make a journey through this large format book an extraordinary experience. She is, still today, a near neighbour in Swansea of Gwen Watkins who has given so much kind encouragement to the project and, in the Afterword, has written compellingly about her husband's life and work. ; Woodcuts; 56 pages
