Description: "Words are not only letters, their order and their space are as important to make words possible. The book shows this idea by setting all of each of the different letters of the poem on a separate page in order to appreciate the space they occupy in the word and on the page. The poem refers with its own words to the importance of this concept"--Artist's statement.

Aunt Sallie's lament

Rare Books

"The artist Margaret Kaufman describes 'Aunt Sallie's lament' as 'a poem that is the autobiography of a spinster quilter stitched with mutterings that accumulate as the cut pages are turned becoming a diamond quilt shape'. The poem tells the story of a southern American quilter reminiscing about a love lost but not forgotten. Each stanza of the poem is accompanied by a muttering, one or two words printed at the edge of the page, which remain in view as each subsequent page is turned. The variously shaped leaves are made up of a complex series of cut out pastel paper shapes that mimick the patterns of a quilt."--from Artstor.org.
