A Minimalist Fine Press Friday

This week we present a fine-press pamphlet by a poet and an artist noted for their spare compositions. British artist and filmmaker John Christie uses minimalist silk-screened squares to illustrate Scottish poet and physician Gael Turnbull‘s equally sparse poem Nine Intersections, printed in 1982 by Christie at Ron King’s Circle Press in Guildford, England in an edition of 70 copies signed by the poet and artist. This is one of 14 publications Christie printed for Circle Press. Despite its minimalism, or perhaps because of it, the pacing, movement, and rhythm of this little book is wonderfully satisfying.
