About This Item
[Berkeley]: [Edition One], [2013]. First edition [likely a very small print run]. Squarish octavo (9 x 8 3/4 inches]. Unpaginated but with 19 captioned photographic illustrations (all printed on rectos). With an original platinum print measuring 3 3/4 x 4 1/4 inches mounted into corners on the rear leaf. Publisher's blind-stamped brown cloth with black endpapers. As new.Inscribed by the photographer on the title page "Esalen 2014, Learning to be Quiet, Blessings. Dave Schoenwald." at the title page. We can understand the title and impetus for this publication by reading Schoenwald's text near the end - "Back in the summer of 2011, I took two and a half months off from work and camped across the United States---starting in Mojave National Preserve and making my way to the Appalachians... before returning to California... I often think of the solitude of the Mojave, the awe I experienced at the Grand Canyon... I didn't know it at the time, but this trip was a way to reconnect with myself, and the world around me; to see and feel a larger connection." No doubt he camped at Esalen as well and later sent them a copy.
