“To make a poem is to take possession of a nuptial afterlife that is very much in this life, very much attached to it, and yet close to the urns of
death”.
Joan Miro and René Char moved in the same artistic circles and remained close to the Surrealist artists, even though they distanced themselves from this movement, which they considered sectarian. The two artists collaborated on this book. Illustrated with an original woodcut for the slipcase, a color etching and aquatint for the cover and four color etchings and aquatints. An exceptional copy enriched with two suites, one of which in black, enhanced by hand.
