Lyrical Textiles Artist's Book by Gabriel Awuah Mainoo & Illuminated Press
“In this collection of 50 poems, Gabriel Awuah Mainoo weaves verses that are exploratory, both in scope and design. [Each poem possesses] the yearnings of youth and of humanity - for love, for belonging, for the future. The question of belonging and the search for love and truth is broached from the perspective of a human being, an African, a man, a black man, and ultimately, as in ‘Questions that matter,’ from the perspective of one who seeks to know what really are the most basic life hacks (from the foreword by Dr. Martin Egblewogbe).
Covers and endsheets are letterpress printed on handmade rag paper, interior paper is 100% recycled.” - Illuminated Press
8.5” x 5.5”
