The text of A Book for Sally is a poem by Emily Dickinson entitiled Hope is the Thing with Feathers:
Hope is the Thing with Feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words
And Never stops at all.
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land
And on the strangest sea
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.
1979, Toronto, ON. 6 pages. (6 x 8 x 1/4″) Unique. Made for Sally Homer, Copper Cliff, Ontario.
Comissioned by the University of Washington Special Collections Library, for an exhibition entitled Just One Look, this is a 13-page pop-up book based on the Aithiopika, an ancient Greek novel by Heliodorus. Using the pop-up technique made famous by Vojtech Kubasta, each page is like a theatrical scene. This scene shows Chariklea binding the wounds of Theagenes on a beach in Egypt, after the pirates who invaded their ship have been killed by Egyptian bandits.
