Took a vacation this past week outside Asheville and was pleased to pick up this framed broadside from @batteryparkbookexchange. Ron Rash has become a giant of the literary scene in the mountain south, and “Speckled Trout” is one of his most recognizable poems. Printing by Amy Pirkle, and the woodcut by Steve Thurston. Number 147/200. #ronrash #speckledtrout #stevethurston #amypirkle #perkolatorpress #rarebooks #firstedition #bookcollection #bookcollecting #bookcollection #bibliophile #bookporn #bookhunting #bookstagram #modernfirsts #modernfirsteditions #finebooks #signedbooks #shelfie #southernliterature #southernlit #tennessee #appalachianlit #appalachianliterature #kentucky #northcarolina #virginia #westvirginia #appalachianpoetry (at Battery Park Book Exchange and Champagne Bar) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ5lFDfsN8P/?utm_medium=tumblr
