Physical Description: [1] p. : ill. ; 56 x 28 cm.
Broadside prospectus for book of poetry, Breathtaken, by Carolyn D. Wright, illustrated with the linoleum relief cuts of Walter
Feldman, published by the Brown Ziggurat Press, Brown University, Providence, R.I.
Book designed by Walter Feldman and Elias Roustam.
Broadside contains text from Breathtaken printed in red and linoleum cut by Feldman printed in black.
Wright is the recipient of several awards, including a National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry, and she was named a
MacArthur Fellow in 2004. "The poem addresses the corruption, lawlessness and unchecked violence of the post-Katrina New Orleans.
When asked why she chose to write about New Orleans, Wright discussed her personal connection to photographer Deborah Luster.
Wright collaborated with Luster, who lost her mother as a result of the violence, on the poem 'One Big Self: Prisoners of
Louisiana.'"--From the Brown Daily Herald, March 21, 2012.
Feldman inaugurated the Ziggurat Press in 1985 with a book of poems by James Schevill.
