An incidental expression of “Pied Beauty,” Gerard Manley Hopkins’s influential poem, is captured in the waste of a letterpress printer’s fine edition. In this book, printer Andrew Steeves and poet Christopher Patton explore how the “graphic bycatch” of a printing process is in sympathy with the antiphonal form of Hopkins’s poetics, how “the formed world in all its mixedupedness is intelligible–you’ve just got to set your mind right.”
