Progress on "The Potatoes' Dance"



These are proof etchings for the book The Potatoes' Dance, illustrating the poem by Vachel Lindsay. Aquatint and etched lettering will be added; the lettering here is just written on with pencil. It will be series of ten etchings, bound in a long strip, accordian-style.

I received a very kind letter from Nicholas Lindsay, giving me permission to use his father's poem.
