Sophie Herxheimer
Artists' Book
An Oulipian zine in which Herxheimer celebrates three female poets of the twentieth century. She provides each of them with a fitting vessel in which to brew her poem-homage, using the letters from their names in a blend with the letters of her own name.
Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966) has a samovar, Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979) has a cocktail shaker, and Rosemary Tonks, (1928-2014) a coffee pot.
The zine was printed using risograph on sugar paper and is made from one sheet of A3 paper, folded.
