I ran across a picture of Joan Ingoldsby Brown’s book “Immortality” the other day. It was a big inspiration the first time I saw it in about 2001 at the San Francisco Center for the Book. Brown said “A 4″ x 4″ accordion book containing Emily Dickinson’s poem about immortality and unfolding into a 20″ x 30″ collage using found engravings of the 1800s to depict the era of the poem.” I think the poem is the one that starts with
Because I could not stop for Death –
He kindly stopped for me –
The Carriage held but just Ourselves –
And Immortality.
