Simon Armitage Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry 2018 Delighted to hear that Simon Armitage has been selected for this most prestigious award. His poems, wrote Carol Ann Duffy, “would challenge hypocrisy wherever they encountered it, giving voice to those rarely admitted into poetry, and extending an arm around the unheard and the dispossessed. And for all the attention to the grain and trouble of daily lives, the poems never lost sight of wider horizons: our outer space full of possibilities, the dream space of our love.” At Design For Today we are thrilled and honoured to be publishing his reimagining of Hansel & Gretel, illustrated by Clive Hicks-Jenkins in the Spring 2019, a very special book! Available to pre-order in January. #hanselandgretel #simonarmitage #designfortoday #clivehicksjenkins https://www.instagram.com/p/BrnlqEWAy67/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1exew1uuvyx5p

Sneak peek! Hansel & Gretel A detail from Clive Hicks-Jenkins’ work on litho film for Simon Armitage’s new narrative poem, Hansel & Gretel, to be published by yours truly next Spring. Clive’s worked on using colour separations allowing these to be layered up so the end result will be as close to a screenprinted book as we can get, on beautiful uncoated paper, and with a screenprint from The Penfold Press in the Special Edition. More news to follow as we near publication. #hanselandgretel #simonarmitage #clivehicksjenkins #designfortoday #lithography #screenprinting https://www.instagram.com/p/BqeYshtg5Za/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ssc71qq5bi8c

Hansel & Gretel A Nightmare in Eight Scenes work in progress from Clive Hick-Jenkins for the illustrated narrative poem by Simon Armitage. Here a clockwork moth flies to a pock-marked moon. Drawn, etched and crayoned onto litho film before scanning into layers of colour. It’ll be published this autumn and we’ll be announcing news of release, a limited edition, and launch soon, via newsletter. #clivehicksjenkins #simonarmitage #hanselandgretel #moth #clockwork #designfortoday #wip
