Artist Ilse Schreiber-Noll has just produced a very expensive ($3,500 per copy), limited edition book of woodcuts and silkscreens illustrated by the poems of two great poets — 19th century American poet Walt Whitman and his counterpart South African counterpart Dennis Brutus — in honor of Camden, New Jersey “Camden, located just east of Philadelphia, became a center of industry, home to RCA and Campbell Soup. [In] the years following, the city declined into one of the poorest cities in our country, a place best-known for government corruption and crime.” More information here.
