These beautifully letterpressed broadsides (13″ x 19″), entitled Unexplored Coutry, were printed by Alex Widen at the Alden Press in early 2009.  The broadsides came in over the summer while our website was down and they completely slipped my mind until now. 

The broadsides were printed in a limited edition of 60 for Al Purdy Day (April 21,2009) and consist of three never before published poems by Purdy which were written while in hospital battling his illness.  They are presented with a preface from the printer which is accompanied by a wood engraving by Jim Rimmer is a simple presentation folder with letterpressed titles.  We manage to acquire a couple sets at the shop, thanks to Alex, and have them for sale in our shop for the suggested retail price of $125.00.
