Prior to the word processor, the typewriter, and movable type, was the block book of the 15th century. In Psalms, Poems, and Prayers, graphic artist Kreg Yingst resurrects the concept, carving over 100 blocks of images and text. In a style more reminiscent of German Expressionism than early medieval woodcut, 31 meditations of classic Christian writers and Saints are brought to life. Well-known poets such as Emily Dickinson and Gerard Manley Hopkins, along with beloved saints Francis of Assisi, and Bernard of Clairvaux, offer faith, hope, and praise for each day of the month. note: This is a facsimile of the original blockbook. All profits from this book are donated to various charities.
