Description:... "Fusing images and poems that share water as a common theme, The Water's Edge explores complexities of expression through a series of screenprints by artist Ardyn Halter. They are complemented by a range of poems, linked to the prints through the notion of water, a primary element in the emotional consciousness of the creative being." "Including the work of an impressive array of contemporary poets - Seamus Heaney, Geoffrey Hill, Paul Muldoon and Don Paterson, Michael Longley, Jamie McKendrick, Stephen Romer, Gabriel Levin, Jennie Feldman and Robin Robertson - The Water's Edge also reproduces original hand written drafts of selected poems, and correspondence between artist and writer as well as the elements that went into the making of individual prints: elements tried, used, altered or discarded. The result is not only a beautiful homage to a life-sustaining element but a fascinating insight into the creative mind at work." --BOOK JACKET.
