Sobre este item
New York: Red Ozier Press, 1984. Large 4to quarter cloth.
Limited to 115 copies (90 in wrappers) signed by composer and artist, this is one of 25 copies bound in Claire Maziarczyk's wastepapers over boards.
Very slight indentation lower front board, still easily a fine, unread and bright copy.
In an essay on Red Ozier, press bibliographer Michael Peich highlights this title: "Red Ozier published dozens of titles that are distinguished examples of the physical book. One book, Paul's Blues, deserves mention for its combination of solid typography and interesting art. The text reproduces songs that the composer Ned Rorem wrote based on lyrics composed by Paul Goodman. In the introduction Rorem discusses his association with Goodman and how the songs were written in 1947. Following the introduction is a reproduction of Rorem's fair-hand manuscripts for each of the three songs, the printed lyrics of the songs, the composer's journal entries from around the date of Goodman's death on 3 August 1972, and an afterword by Rorem. The manuscript is a complex mixture that is both solemn (Rorem's tribute to his friend) and entertaining (the songs themselves). [Press founders] Ken and Steve solved the textual complexity by choosing a straightforward, elegant typographic presentation. The only adornment in the book is Rivers' energetic title page which addresses the creative collaboration between poet and composer; in an almost excited way it prepares the reader for the text that follows. The finished product is a masterful job of keeping all the elements of the text in perfect balance and harmony. It is a high point of production from the press because it combines, with almost disarming ease, classical typography with a new technology (the title page was reproduced by color Xerox and transferred to the sheets)."
