In 1982, Jacob Lawrence (1917-2000) was commissioned to make eight paintings to accompany John Hersey’s devastating book Hiroshima first published in 1946 shortly after the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city. The paintings are at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts, but the Limited Editions Club book, which has eight original silkscreens printed in eleven colors, signed by Hersey and Lawrence (and Robert Penn Warren who wrote a poem for this edition), is in our special collections.

“To build up a library is to create a life. It's never just a random collection of books.” ― Carlos María Domínguez, The House of Paper --- I can imagine myself saying these exact words in a resting bitch face during family dinners. 😂 #bookhaul #books #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookgram #bookporn #booknerd #bookworm #bibliophile #literature #igreads #goodreads #booksandbeans #met_createchange #RobertPennWarren #AlltheKingsMen #TimOBrien #TheThingsTheyCarried #VirginiaWoolf #TotheLighthouse #JunotDiaz #ThisisHowYouLoseHer

The end of man is knowledge, but there is one thing he can't know. He can't know whether knowledge will save him or kill him. He will be killed, all right, but he can't know whether he is killed because of the knowledge which he has got or because of the knowledge which he hasn't got and which if he had it, would save him. - All the King's Men - Robert Penn Warren #BookQuotes #RobertPennWarren #AllTheKingsMen #ML #MARDLife #Knowledge #Life #Death #Kill #Save https://www.instagram.com/p/BvoAchwn5zX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ktenq4kxqmyv

‘Cycle’, by Robert Penn Warren, late Poet Laureate of the US and fellow Kentuckian, here presented as a letterpress broadside. Signed by the poet. It was printed at the King Library Press at the University of Kentucky where I did apprentice work as a letterpress printer years later. The typeface is American Uncial designed by the brilliant Austrian typographer and printer Victor Hammer. He lived in Lexington and is the reason there is such a great letterpress tradition here. I was thrilled to stumble across this at a shop today, and already framed. . . #robertpennwarren #poetry #poem #letterpress #fineprinting #victorhammer #kinglibrarypress #americanuncial #bibliophile #sharethelex #lexky #lexington #kentucky (at Lexington, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq-rB3Bn3PE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gx668nk46m8o

I've been doing some reading on New Criticism over the last couple weeks and kept remembering this letter I bought at auction. This is a response letter from Cleanth Brooks to Charles Salaki in which Brooks confronts the notion that New Criticism bypasses historical or social aspects of a text. You can almost hear the annoyance in Dr Brooks text (though a somewhat un-unified tone if you ask me). Anyway, a fun little insight (and distraction) from my studies! Signed hand typed letter, dated 1990. . . . . . #cleanthbrooks #newcriticism #robertpennwarren #pennwarren #signed #litcrit #literarycriticism #books #bookcollector #bookcollecting #bookcollection #bookphotography #bookporn #shelfie #bookstagram #southern #southernlit #kentucky
