Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Very well maintained. Small signs of wear but no tears, scratches or major flaws. Very scarce edition of Idris Davies' selected poems. Good condition. No highlighting or other notes. For cover see image 2."When we think of the Depression years in Wales, it is sometimes hard to conjure up the individual suffering of families. The event has become an historical episode and people have tended to get lost amongst the facts and figures, the verbiage of historians' opinions. We know there was unemployment and precious little money around. The image of out of work miners and steel men standing on the street corners is one that sticks. We all remember the words of the man who, for a few brief month.…

Angry Summer: A Poem of 1926 by Idris Davies is a powerful book-length poem inspired by the 1926 General Strike and its devastating impact on the mining communities of South Wales.

Printed on Japanese art paper using our exclusive "Daido black" inks, all books in the NZ Library have certain aspects in common: each title is produced using the highest material and production values; each is limited to 350 numbered and signed copies; each is bound in silk cloth and individually slipcased.

While copies will be available to purchase individually, a generous discount is extended for orders of all six titles in any given set. Set 1 highlights work by some of the most creative and influential photographic artists active in Los Angeles during the 1970s; re-presents the long-overdue "wayward piece of the puzzle"-- John Schott's entire "Route 66 Motels" portfolio -- to the available literature relating to the groundbreaking New Topographics exhibition shown in 1975 at the George Eastman House in Rochester; offers new insight into Daido Moriyama's working methodology; and provides an ideal forum for the first international publication on the work of superstar contemporary artist Idris Khan." Volume One: Bevan Davies: Los Angeles 1976. ISBN 978-1-59005-383-6. 48 pp., with 32 duotone plates. From the publisher: "Bevan Davies's meticulously printed photographs suggest an appreciation of this form of residential architecture with respect both to the facades on which their identities hinge and to the built spaces between those facades. Preferring to photograph during early morning hours on weekends, Davies positioned the film plane of his 8x10-inch camera parallel to the buildings' fronts, to capture the nuanced play of shadows. The resulting images lend depth to structural and decorative elements that are simultaneously utilitarian and aesthetic." From "Ed Ruscha and Some Los Angeles Apartments" by Virginia Heckert: "Los Angeles 1976 is an exquisitely-produced collection of Bevan Davies's photographs of residential Los Angeles architecture, a subject perfectly suited to his working methods at that time. Born in 1941 and educated at the University of Chicago during the 1960s, Bevan Davies hit his intellectual and artistic stride in the 1970s, dovetailing perfectly with the uniquely fertile grounds that Los Angeles was becoming during that decade. The immediate impact of the work Davies produced at this time is reflected in the list of solo and group exhibitions in which his photographs were shown, including such venues as Sonnabend Gallery, New York; International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House, Rochester; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and Palais de Beaux Arts, Bru.…
