Roger Angell is best known as a New Yorker magazine senior editor and as a baseball writer. His memoir, Ancient Mariner, is about sailing in Maine and conveys vivid images of his sailing experiences of more than sixty years.
Ancient Mariner is published in a limited edition, with a large, 15-by-11-inch, accordion-page format, and bound in boards covered with copies of maritime charts used by the author. It is contained in a slipcase covered in sailcloth-like canvas. Ancient Mariner includes model sails and rigging, maritime charts of Maine, and mono-types with pastel by Charles Hobson. In order to read the final page, the reader must actually jibe the mainsail.
Charles Hobson will have a variety of his books for sale after the presentation.

Check out "Tangled Alphabets," at New York's Museum of Modern Art, through June 15, "León Ferrari (Argentine, b. 1920) and Mira Schendel (Brazilian, b.
Switzerland, 1919-1988) are considered among the most significant
artists working in Latin America during the second half of the
twentieth century. Their works address language as a major visual
subject matter: the visual body of language, the embodiment of voices
as words and gestures, and language as a metaphor of the worldly aspect
of human existence through the eloquence of naming and writing." www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/2009/tangledalphabets/ - 4k -
