Design + Print: e.e. cummings broadside
September 2, 2008 by Jenni
When Nancy came to Lunalux and asked us to create a print of an e.e. cummings poem, I was thrilled. I think his poems are so interesting and evocative, this one in particular. “and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart. i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)” It’s just perfect. So this was a fun little project for us to work on. It’s not a revolutionary design by any means, but I think the poem is well served by the clean sans-serif font. It’s letterpress printed in cheerful green ink on a super-soft cotton watercolor paper, and we printed just a small handful of them for Nancy to give as gifts. Suitable for framing!

Oh, this is so lovely. I wish you would offer it in your shop!
