Moraine (Richard Skelton)

MORAINE is a square-format 28pp booklet of poetry by Richard Skelton, beautifully printed on Tintoretto papers. The eponymous poem is an evocation of landscape features known as ‘moraines’ - lithic material deposited by the movement of glaciers. Accordingly, its own textual material is scattered across each recto page in imitation of glacial action.
