A new and original edition of Coleridge’s famous poem, with an introduction by Adrian Blamires, is brought to life with Peter Hay’s printing and Pip Hall’s hand-lettering – this ‘miracle of rare device’, these ‘sinuous rills’.
“For Coleridge, poetry was the ‘balance of reconciliation of oppositive or discordant qualities’. In Kubla Khan we hear a ‘mingled pleasure’: sun and ice, garden and wild, ‘demon lover’, peace and war.

The Khan himself is both enlightened ruler and despot. The river Alph runs from birth to death, ‘ceaseless tumult’ to ‘lifeless ocean’, alpha to omega.”
~ Adrian Blamires
