When I Did Not Die
|
 |
As the first of the H. Peter Kahn Memorial
books, “When I Did Not Die” is a tribute to Peter Kahn as a book artist,
calligrapher, teacher, and educator. The book pairs five etchings by
Zevi Blum with five poems by Judith Levey-Kurlander. Zevi and Judith were
friends and neighbors in Ithaca for many years. While Zevi’s etchings
were originally conceived around the Renaissance theme of the “Dance of
Death,” the poems of the late Judith Levey-Kurlander were written during
hertime of illness. Both artists have found a voice around the theme of
death, each facing the reality of dying in unique, optimistic, and
complimentary ways. |
