#2: Bridge to Island Cabin, Poems and Drawings by Marina Eckler

I was at an art books show that Darin Klein put on in 1999 at the New College in San Francisco. I was looking at this gorgeous letterpressed book called This is the Horse that Got Led to Water by Marina Eckler. I was in love with the book and looked up and saw a beautiful young lady who looked like the only person in the room who could’ve made it. I asked Darin who was the author and he pointed to the woman I’d just seen. A couple of days later we were watching Being John Malkovich and sharing a Coke. A year and a half later we had a little boy named Ursen.

Marina studied printmaking at San Francisco State University and has work in The Big Ballyhoo coming up in February 2004 in San Francisco.
