In 1982, Jacob Lawrence (1917-2000) was commissioned to make eight paintings to accompany John Hersey’s devastating book Hiroshima first published in 1946 shortly after the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city. The paintings are at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts, but the Limited Editions Club book, which has eight original silkscreens printed in eleven colors, signed by Hersey and Lawrence (and Robert Penn Warren who wrote a poem for this edition), is in our special collections.

‘Cycle’, by Robert Penn Warren, late Poet Laureate of the US and fellow Kentuckian, here presented as a letterpress broadside. Signed by the poet. It was printed at the King Library Press at the University of Kentucky where I did apprentice work as a letterpress printer years later. The typeface is American Uncial designed by the brilliant Austrian typographer and printer Victor Hammer. He lived in Lexington and is the reason there is such a great letterpress tradition here. I was thrilled to stumble across this at a shop today, and already framed. . . #robertpennwarren #poetry #poem #letterpress #fineprinting #victorhammer #kinglibrarypress #americanuncial #bibliophile #sharethelex #lexky #lexington #kentucky (at Lexington, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq-rB3Bn3PE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gx668nk46m8o

We’ve come a long way for nature and climate from our first Earth Day in 1970. Can we be optimistic about 2070 for climate action and protecting nature?

The end of man is knowledge, but there is one thing he can't know. He can't know whether knowledge will save him or kill him. He will be killed, all right, but he can't know whether he is killed because of the knowledge which he has got or because of the knowledge which he hasn't got and which if he had it, would save him. - All the King's Men - Robert Penn Warren #BookQuotes #RobertPennWarren #AllTheKingsMen #ML #MARDLife #Knowledge #Life #Death #Kill #Save https://www.instagram.com/p/BvoAchwn5zX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ktenq4kxqmyv

I've been spending a lot of time writing a paper on Jim Wayne Miller's use of fish and fishing over the last couple weeks, so southern poetry is what I have gravitated towards when I go to the shelves to do a new post. Here is the book from yesterday's #marbledmonday post. It is a signed first edition of 'New and Selected Poems 1923-1985' by Penn Warren. The color of the boards doesn't really come out in this picture, but they are a deep purple with the gold. @alancornett This is the book you asked about a while back when I posted another Franklin edition of Penn Warren. Love the colors on this one. Fine condition, unopened, satin placeholder unmoved, no bookplate. . . . . . . #pennwarren #robertpennwarren #poetry #poems #vanderbilt #southernagrarian #pulitzerprize #tennessee #kentucky #firstedition #signed #finebooks #rarebooks #bibliophile #leatherboundbooks #franklinlibrary #book #books #bookporn #bookclub #bookshelf #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookcollector #bookcollection #shelfie

“To build up a library is to create a life. It's never just a random collection of books.” ― Carlos María Domínguez, The House of Paper --- I can imagine myself saying these exact words in a resting bitch face during family dinners. 😂 #bookhaul #books #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookgram #bookporn #booknerd #bookworm #bibliophile #literature #igreads #goodreads #booksandbeans #met_createchange #RobertPennWarren #AlltheKingsMen #TimOBrien #TheThingsTheyCarried #VirginiaWoolf #TotheLighthouse #JunotDiaz #ThisisHowYouLoseHer

Portrait of Robert Penn Warren done with dipping pens. I initially intended to submit it to a local contest, but unfortunately, I took too long to finish it. #robertpennwarren #myart #penandinkdrawing #penandink #dippingpen #dippingpens #portrait

I don't collect a lot of the Franklin Library editions but this one I couldn't resist. This is from their First Edition series, and is beautifully bound in red leather. Penn Warren is the only person to have won a Pulitzer in both fiction and poetry, and stands a piller of southern writing in the 20th century. Though this isn't particularly rare, still a nice piece for my Warren collection. Condition is unopened, the silk bookmark hasn't been disturbed, and the book is flawless. Fine condition. . . . . . . . #pennwarren #robertpennwarren #poetry #pulitzer #southern #southernlit #southernliterature #firstedition #leatherbound #franklinlibrary #rare #rarebooks #book #books #bookclub #bookporn #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookcollection #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #antiquarianbooks #finebooks #shelfie #modernfirsts #modernliterature

Quote
After a great blow, or crisis, after the first shock and then after the nerves have stopped screaming and twitching, you settle down to the new condition of things and feel that all possibility of change has been used up. You adjust yourself, and are sure that the new equilibrium is for eternity. . . But if anything is certain it is that no story is ever over, for the story which we think is over is only a chapter in a story which will not be over, and it isn't the game that is over, it is just an inning, and that game has a lot more than nine innings. When the game stops it will be called on account of darkness. But it is a long day.
Robert Penn Warren, All the King’s Men

And what we students of history always learn is that the human being is a very complicated contraption and that they are not good or bad but are good and bad and the good comes out of the bad and the bad out of the good, and the devil take the hindmost.
Robert Penn Warren, All the King’s Men
