Poetry Leaflet - Genesis by Gary Barwin

Gary Barwin’s visual poem Genesis is a two-part tribute to Amanda Earl, done in the style of her Vispo Bible, which warps and layers text to create flowing, totemic imagery. Barwin’s versions take up the Hebrew text of Genesis, and his results reflect the typographic geometry of this written language. A limited edition of 60 leaflets have been produced, the two-part poem printed on glossy photograph paper then tucked into tent-folded black card stock. You can view the visual poem online following the link below, and copies of the leaflet are available in The Blasted Tree’s online store.
