Cowboy Nute by Dave Snyder
Cowboy Nute is a prose poem by Dave Snyder that recounts the colorful and adventurous life of J. Lester Nute, a bootlegger and musician who lived under a sawdust pile in Ossipee, New Hampshire.
Six woodcuts by Isak Applin and David Wolfe accompany this text. Both words and woodcuts were printed on dampened Hereford paper on an Albion iron handpress. Co-published with Wolfe Editions, this is our second book printed entirely on an iron handpress.
