The 2012 Printer in Residence project at Otago University is complete

The 2012 Printer in Residence project is finally complete, and the poems by Kevin Cunningham printed by Dr John Holmes look fantastic. The University bindery have done well by binding the 100 copy edition in a red maroon. As a frontispiece there is a tipped in image of Kevin Cunningham.  

There is a bonus: each copy has a loosely inserted hand-printed keepsake that features a Joanna Paul image of Kevin Cunningham, a poem on Kevin by Bill Manhire, and an unpublished poem on Kevin by Alan Roddick.

And wayzsgoose was held yesterday afternoon to celebrate the completion of the project. Poets Bill Manhire and Alan Roddick read their poems to an appreciative audience who gathered together to remember Kevin Cunningham and celebrate the publication of his poems.    project is finally complete, and the poems by Kevin Cunningham printed by Dr John Holmes look fantastic.
