Marly Youmans’ novel Glimmerglass will be published in September by Mercer University Press. The books have been printed and are currently stashed in a USA warehouse. Soon they will begin to move out into the world. Meanwhile, and on the the other side of the world, from today anyone visiting us will be greeted by the framed original collage/drawing that is the cover of Glimmerglass, the first artwork to be seen on entering Ty Isaf, hanging at the half-landing of the stairs next to shelves packed with treasured books, including all my collaborations with Marly.

Whether going up or down at Ty Isaf, the cover of the book is there to greet and remind me of all the pleasures of friendship with Marly. I love her work, and I love her.
Marly, right, with Montserrat Prat at Ty Isaf, 2011. Both had contributed chapters to my monograph, published by Lund Humphries.

Clive Hicks-Jenkins' Artlog: 
Lovely to see the original there at Ty-Isaf . And Marly and Monserrat too. Nice that Marly has yours and her work as her avatar as well, I meant to mention it before.
Lovely. Looking forward to reading it as I loved Thaliad.
as an obsessed book lover / second hand book collector I couldn’t resist zooming in on those bookshelves!
(many of the titles remain elusively out of focus though)
Yeah, just a snapshot really. Didn’t think anyone would be trawling the shelves in forensic detail! (-;
I am very tickled to see it there, in such a special spot! And I remember those bookshelves well… Hmm, I see some of my books, too.
And hey, love for you and your work in return! What fun it has been–and we have more frolics in mind…
Plenty of Marlys on those shelves, some in triplicate! (More out of shot than in. Should have reorganised it to look like the ‘Marly Corner’!)
Yes, more fun to be had yet.
Beautiful and just the right place to greet visitors!
