Stories of saints and animals, dark worlds of folk tradition, inanimate objects as actors on a stage, otherworldly landscapes--all these tumble from the drawings and paintings of Clive Hicks-Jenkins, who has been described by Simon Callow as 'one of the most individual and complete artists of our time.'

Produktbeschreibung
Stories of saints and animals, dark worlds of folk tradition, inanimate objects as actors on a stage, otherworldly landscapes--all these tumble from the drawings and paintings of Clive Hicks-Jenkins, who has been described by Simon Callow as 'one of the most individual and complete artists of our time.' Over the past dozen years, many writers have been prompted to give word to the unspoken narratives in Hicks-Jenkins' images. The Book of Ystwyth offers twenty-seven poems, many published here for the first time, placed alongside images that inspired them or reflect them. They are by six insightful writers: Three American, and three British; three women and three men. Experiencing these images and poems together will take readers on imaginative journeys of their own, reflecting on the rich themes running through the pairings. Originally published by Gray Mare Press in Aberystwyth, Wales, and in association with the National Library of Wales, the book is distributed in the USA by Carolina Wren Press.

CATRIONA URQUHART (1953-2005) produced two books, both illustrated by Clive Hicks-Jenkins - a short story, Palmyra Jones, and a sequence of poems, The Mare's Tale, conceived to accompany the exhibition of large-scale drawings by the Clive Hicks-Jenkins. The Mare's Tale was published in 2001 with new images commissioned specially by the Old Stile Press. In it the poet celebrates the life and marks the death of Trevor Jenkins, who was both her friend and the artist's father. A third collaboration with Clive Hicks-Jenkins was to have been Urquhart's new translation of the libretto for Stravinsky's The Soldier's Tale but the project was unfinished when she died at age 52.
