SNOWGARDEN
2007 • 13” x 8.5” • 88 pages

This one-of-a-kind artist’s book contains eight poems about winter from nineteenth century women writers: Adelaide Crapsey, Eliza Lee Cabot Follen, Mary Weston Fordham, Elizabeth Clementine Dodge Kinney, Hannah Flagg Gould, Emily Elizabeth Dickinson, and Lydia Huntly Sigourney. The book is lettered and painted in shades of blues and purples on winter white combed paste papers which fold out to reveal poetry and biographical information about the writers. The blue velvet chemise binding is covered in tiny seed pearls. Joelle Leavitt Webber, Mermaid Bindery, lined the blue fabric box with padded velvet to match the binding.
