First published in 1976, this beautiful, interactive collaboration
is a unique work of book art in which Marisol's monumental pop-art
sculptures face the blocks of Creeley's prose poems. The new
introduction by Creeley scholar Stephen Fredman describes how the
poet's autobiographical prose poetry arose in conversation with
images of Marisol's equally autobiographical sculptures. In
addition to the introduction, this edition features an appendix of
newly discovered material, much of it found in Creeley's own copy
of the original edition of Presences. These include postcards and
letters from Marisol, designer William Katz (who brought the poet
and artist together), Mexican poet Octavio Paz, and several
university professors. The material in the appendix allows the
editor to reveal the genesis of Presences as a collaborative work
of art involving three creators: artist, designer, and poet.
