| Synopsis: |
This special edition brings together for the first time the best of Michael's Mayo poems and reflects the intricacies of his thirty-year love affair with the Mayo landscape and, more particularly, with the townland of Carrigskeewaun, where he has been going with his family since 1970. The forty-nine poems in "The Lake Without a Name" are, to use Michael's words from the preface to this edition, 'consecrated by the right company' - twenty-eight beautifully crafted wood engravings by artist and friend Jeffrey Morgan. "The Lake Without a Name" is the fruit of an enduring friendship between poet and artist. The book represents a unique collaboration between two extraordinary craftsmen. This fine press limited edition of "The Lake Without a Name" consists of 275 signed and numbered copies. The first seventy-five copies of the book contain a signed and numbered four-page insert with a specially commissioned poem by Michael and an additional wood engraving by Jeffrey, which is unique to this limited edition. These seventy-five copies have a special quarter-binding of Harmatan goat leather. |
