Item

Identifier: CC-39049-40987

Scope and Contents Tom Phillips, with the assistance of Alice Wood, created this quilt from fragments of fabric from costumes Phillips was designing for "Winter's Tale" at the Globe Theatre in London. Phillips writes, "For Autolycus I had supervised the making of a large patchwork cloak and was fascinated to see how humdrum pieces of the cloths of the world rather than of heaven when juxtaposed sang out as rich and rare. Some of the 'dye and drab' of the cloak of Autolycus started off this present piece." The text is from a poem by the Irish poet, William Butler Yeats titled "He wishes for the cloths of heaven." The poem reads, "Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, - Enwrought with the golden and silver light, - The blue and the dim and the dark cloths - Of night and light and half-light, - I would spread the cloths under your feet - But I, being poor, have only my dreams; - I have spread my dreams beneath your feet; - Tread softly because you tread on my dreams..." The letters of the poem are...

Identifier: CC-44126-46251

Scope and Contents From WEB site of Kent State Archives: Biographical Note [written by Tom Kryss] Tom Kryss was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1948 and attended high school in Garfield Heights, where for a time he edited the school newspaper, established a literary magazine, and worked in the layout department of a local suburban weekly. In the summer of 1966, before his departure for the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, he came into contact with the bookseller James Lowell and the poet d.a. levy; and began to entertain the idea of self-publishing works of poetry. On campus at Northwestern he collected material for an independent literary magazine, and left school to earn money to publish it. In Chicago and Bensenville, Illinois, he met the independent publisher Douglas Casement and the poet Douglas Blazek, and observed first hand the production of their poetry magazine, broadsides, and chapbooks, via letterpress and mimeograph. It was through Casement's Fenian Head Center Press...
