THE LONG DISTANCE is a limited edition artists book of seventeen poems by San Francisco poet, Beau Beausoleil. These spare narrow poems are written in the winter margins of love, alongside shards of waking dreams, and find place within our country’s vicious history. They reveal a mixture of the poet’s continuing concerns: social justice, and the interior spaces of love and memory.
Designed by Felicia Rice, THE LONG DISTANCE was handset in Lightline Gothic and Garamond types, and letterpress printed on Somerset Book paper at Moving Parts Press by Felicia Rice and Jared Cortez. The poems are accompanied by four relief prints by Rice. Craig Jensen of BookLab II bound this edition of 55 signed and numbered copies.
