Published projects, 1927-2016, undated

Series I.A., Published projects, comprises materials related to the published work of John Digby appearing between 1983 and 2016. Publications include the artist’s original, found, and collage poetry and prose; his translations of ancient Chinese poetry, much of which was produced in collaboration with Hong Ai Bai via their technique of poetic “improvisation”; his published essays related to his own collage exhibitions; and lastly, anthologies edited jointly with Joan Digby. Each subseries largely consists of Feral Press publications and is arranged in chronological order by individual project. The types of materials found in this series include drafts, proofs, layouts and mockups, background research materials, notes, correspondence, reproductions of artwork, and numerous collage drafts and cutouts. The materials reflect Digby’s preparatory work and iterative processes in his writing, his collage work, and his book design and layout.
