grey. true_the box. Ladder.

Eric Lunde

 

Author’s Note:

I spent the first year of the plague with Paul Celan. And while watching all the other plagues develop while barricaded in my basement studio/bunker, I started working on a series of poems I titled “Grey. True_ The Box. Laddder” And while I worked through those, I started constructing prints that would interpret the poems graphically. The three presented here at Roanoke Review are from that series. These prints are block prints printed from wood type I found and assembled.
