Notes:

"This collaboration evolved over a decade through artistic dialogue between poet Katharine Coles and painter Maureen O'Hara Ure. This imaginary collection was drawn from the inaccurate bestiaries created by New World explorers; North and South American, Asian, European, and particularly Byzantine art; and the co-creators' own strange minds. Type is Alegria Sans and Roman. Papers are Arturo Cover and Mohawk Loop Antique Vellum."--Colophon. Designed by David Wolske; printed by Crane Giamo; bound by Emily Tipps, Hailey Bradley, Sara Jensen, Dana Knight, Allison Milham, and Brett Stanfield; produced by Marnie Powers-Torrey and Red Butte Press. Numbered edition of 125. Special Collections has copy number 36/125, signed by author and illustrator. IaU

Summary:

"In Stranger & Stranger, visual and textual beasts intermingle and romp on the page, inhabiting illustrated and reader-envisioned water, air, and landscapes. Imagery for the bestiary was extracted from Maureen's paintings, translated for letterpress printing into photopolymer plates, and arranged in dynamic interaction with Katharine's poems. These selections from an imaginary bestiary were drawn from North and South American, Asian, European, and particularly Byzantine art; from the rarely accurate bestiaries created by early explorers of the New World; from encounters with animals both homely and nonhomely; and from the co-creators' own strange minds."--Publisher's website
