Coming to the Thornwillow Dispatch in April, we proudly present the first ever fine press edition of: • Toni Morrison’s “Recitatif” • The only published short story by celebrated novelist Toni Morrison, “Recitatif” tells a tale of two orphans, one Black and one white, living parallel lives in Newburgh, New York (the home of Thornwillow Press!). Through a series of vignettes, Morrison explores the nuances of time, place, and race in their lives—without revealing the respective skin colors of either character. Morrison explained it as “an experiment in the removal of all racial codes from a narrative about two characters of different races for whom racial identity is crucial.” Like her novels, “Recitatif” is full of the thoughtful artistry and luminescent prose that made Toni Morrison a literary legend. • “Recitatif” is available for subscription until March 31 in two letterpress printed limited editions: Classic Edition, with copies bound in letterpress paper wrappers, and Patrons' Edition, with volumes featuring handmade paste paper bindings and letterpress printed labels. Patrons' Edition copies will also be individually numbered and signed by the publisher, and support the continuation of the Thornwillow Patrons’ Prize for Emerging Artists. • For more information and to reserve your copy, visit us here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/look-in... • Video Editing by Noisemaker Media • Song: Roads by Portishead
