Michael Feingold's first published book of poetry; which was nominated for the Brenden Gill Award (Municipal Arts Society of New York City). Publisher's statement (in part) "[.]Vincent Fitz Gerald & Company, publishers of limited-edition artists' books, will celebrate its thirteenth anniversary with the publication on August 25, 1993, of its 27th volume, AFTER, a long poem by critic and translator Michael Feingold, with twenty etchings by the celebrated photographer Judith Turner. Published in a limited edition of 50 signed and numbered copies, the edition is also an object in itself, a continuous sheet of folded paper, bound over boards, that may be read and viewed from both sides, or set up as a freestanding sculpture. [.] Feingold shaped the poem to fit the shape of the book as it was evolved by Turner and Fitz Gerald; the somber and often violent imagery of the words was evoked by the austere beauty of the prints, transformed from Turner's original photographs through the delicate and complex process of photogravure etching on copper plates . a classic 19th century technique renewed by modern technology.
