The Secret of the Heart 2005
Poem by David Roberts. Drawings by Harry Reese.
6 by 9 1/4 inches

A single poem by David Roberts with line drawings by Harry Reese. The text for this 2nd edition, following the design of the first letterpress edition published in 1980, is set in Dante, and was digitally printed. Except for the “C” at the beginning of the poem printed from wooden type, the heart-red images were printed letterpress from polymer plates. The digitally-printed wrapper is sampled from a handmade paper painting on a cover from the first edition. Edition of 175.
