David Kennedy

Cornell: A Circuition around his Circumambulation


Published by West House Books 2001

Edition 1st

Condition Mint

A homage to a major twentieth-century artist. Joseph Cornell is best known for his boxes in which seemingly unrelated objects gathered on walks through New York were fashioned into aviaries, pharmacies, hotels and penny arcades. In a series of prose meditations David Kennedy considers the boxes as structures of feeling and sets Cornell’s work in the context of other art and poetry inspired by city walking.

Christine Kennedy

Nineteen Nights in San Francisco


Published by West House & Cherry on the Top 2007

Condition Good

A sequence composed from text found in an out of date bed and breakfast guide to California. Christine Kennedy creates an itinerary of imaginary spaces, a fantasy travelogue of one who has never seen America. The sequence is inspired by, and in homage to, Joseph Cornell, who created many collages evoking the hotels of a Europe he would never visit, places which had changed or were non-existent when he created his works.
