Just like it’s predecessor “Cheating on the Metronome”, the 128 page book comes in a nice biblical dress, with a black artificial leather hardcover featuring gold embossed titles, a reflective gold finishing on the sides and a page-marker-ribbon. The poems and drawings are printed on a natural nicotine-yellow paper and appear as they have been originally produced by Scott: First typed on his old Corona typewriter and then drawn upon.

The book is limited to a 1000 pieces worldwide and exclusively available over the Carhartt network and at the Spacejunk Gallery in France, where Scott is currently exhibiting 14 giant Baryt prints of his photographs that go with the content of the book:
„The book as well as the photos, are fundamentally about the darkness of our time and how I have wanted there to be some light but there just hasn’t been any. It’s kind of about man unlocking the secrets of the universe and the more that he does, the less light that the gods have to give. All the light we are experiencing now is not from the sun but a synthetic sort of light produced by man. All the mystery has gone out of the world.”

Scott H. Bourne lives in Paris, France, where he is simultaneously editing his first novel and writing his second. He just finished to work on a book called “East Of The Adriatic” featuring his journals from a trip to the Balkans, which will be published by Èditions1980 this year. Scott also writes a bimonthly column in “Soma Skateboard Magazine” and has regular publications in books and magazines all across the world. After “Cheating On The Metronome”, „Eclipse“ is the second collection of poems by the notorious man from North Carolina and he is already working on a third one to complete the trilogy. „A Toast To The End Of Time“ will be published by Carhartt in Spring 2011:
“A Toast To The End Of Time” (…) is about a lot of things but mostly the end of an old relationship with a woman, the end of “Our Time” as in our generation, the end of things that define us, like records, or walkmans, a world without cell phones and computers. It’s about the jump in generations that made my way with the world outdated. Its about the death of a tangible time, it’s about the beginning of a new relationship with a woman, it’s erotic, sensual, and beautiful… A rebirth, a continuation, and how the new is born out of the old.” (S.H. Bourne)
