Description
Whittington Press.- Heaney (Seamus) & others. The Four Elements, Series 2-4 only (of 4), each series with 4 broadside poems limited to 125 copies and signed by the contributors, wood-engraved illustration printed in a different colour above a poem on each of the four elements, each numbered and signed by the poet, with 2 additional poems illustrated by Hellmuth Weissenborn loosely inserted in one folder, loose as issued in original paper folders, 1990-92; and 2 copies of another similar, folio, Whittington Press, for the Friends of the Cheltenham Festival of Literature (5)

⁂ Produced each year for the Cheltenham Festival of Literature, the contributors are Seamus Heaney, Laurie Lee, Lawrence Sail and Jenny Joseph. The poets took it in turns to write on each element while a different illustrator was used each year, namely Gwenda Morgan, John O'Connor and Miriam Macgregor, here missing the first series of 1989 illustrated by Hellmuth Weissenborn. John O'Connor also illustrated the additional suite A Sense of Place with poems by P.J.Kavanagh, U.A.Fanthorpe, Peter Porter and Carol Ann Duffy.
