Divan del Tamarit
$75.00
by Theresa Whitehill
In 2012, Theresa Whitehill traveled to the International Sacred Music Festival in Fez, Morocco. Divan del Tamarit reconstructs her memory of listening to Spanish singer Rocio Màrquez and pianist Christian Boissel perform lyrics by Federico Garcia Lorca. She wrote, “Lorca has perhaps had th emost profiund influence on my work, being my original inspiration to pursue poetry when I was nineteen, when I spent four months traveling through France and Spain by bicycle and train, not six months after Franco died. Her singing of his poetry was true Deep Song, an evocation of duende…”
The broadside illustration was composed of digital type ornaments by Jennifer Osgood and hand-colored by the members of the Real Lead Saloon, who hand-set the type, printed the poem and label, marbled the papers at the Scharff’s Old Barn Press on a summer afternoon, covered the boards, and completed the edition in January 2026.

As a cold wind blows through our country do we have the required brovado?
