To say that Lydia Madrid was 'a friend like no other' does not even cover the beauty of this person, or her place in the lives of so many who loved her. Lydia was a printmaker with roots deeply planted in West Texas, and the samll town of Redford, where she was born. We were joined by more things than I can list. Our love of prints, puppets and the pursuit of an adventure is just the beginning of my very long list. We found joy in the small and excitement in things as ordinary as the sound of geese above our heads. The poem begins:'you wrote me postcards for forty years, and today I put them in a…

Austin: Texas Writers Project, 2000. Original . Broadside. FINE. 24 x 36 inches, printed on high quality coated stock with metalic ink. Shipped- rolled in heavy tube. This fabulous poster was created especially for the featured author of Texas Writers Month in 2000 held in Austin, Texas by graphic designer Marc English. It is printed on heavy high quality coated stock in metalic inks: silver and bronze and laid over a duotone photograph of the rugged Big Bend country of West Texas. The poster quotes a long scene from McCarthy's BLOOD MERIDIAN with drops of bronze red blood for emphasis. This is a stunning visual and carries the impact of the original text depicting a scene of horror as the savages line up on horseback along the ridge their glass beads and painted bodies caught forever in the sun's hot glare as they anticipate the massacre that would follow. Only McCarthy could make this scene so vivid you might have to put the book down and never finish it.
