Granary Books proprietor and publisher Steven Clay joins English Professor Jennifer Buckley for a public conversation in the Main Library Gallery.
Professor Buckley curated the current gallery exhibition, Seeing Seeking Feeling Reading: Granary Books. For three decades, Granary Books has brought together writers, artists, and bookmakers committed to exploring and expanding the relations among the verbal, visual, and other arts. Presenting a selection of UI Libraries’ comprehensive collection of Granary editions, this exhibition traces Clay’s career from his beginnings as a UI undergraduate in the 1970s to his present position as one of the most significant independent publishers in the US. Selected items include printed matter in a wide variety of formats, among them Western and accordion-fold codices, broadsides, and a wall-hung contemporary quipu.
