Description:
Tuscaloosa, Alabama:: Firebrand Press,, 2010.. Edition of 70. 6.75 x 6.875 x 1.25"; 3 books, each a single sheet folded. Two of the books open to 18 x 24" and one opens to 12 x 24". Images created using woodcuts and photopolymer plates. Housed in clamshell box. Text and illustrations by Lauren Faulkenberry. Firebrand Press: "This is a series of three books, titled Smolder, Galvanize, and Devour. With a structure similar to a map fold, each book is printed on a single 18" x 24" sheet that collapses to 6" x 6". "Based on the mythology of the Greek furies, this trilogy explores themes of heartache, longing, and obsession, and describes how it feels to be set aflame by another." The books and box can be arranged so that the cover drawings on each combine to form the image of a human heart.

But its history is rich and perhaps best typified in African American culture such as with the quilters of Gee's Bend.
