Chanccani Quipu by Cecilia Vicuņa is a modern interpretation of the 5,000 year-old quipu, which recorded the literature of the Incas on knotted cords. It is a remarkable work, which embodies the intention and essence of a poem by Vicuņa translated into English by the poet along with Jerome Rothenberg. Chanccani Quipu is perhaps the most experimental work published by Granary Books. It certainly takes the most liberties in provoking and extending the form of the book while creating a stunning verbal / visual work. Accompanying Chanccani Quipu is a full-color signed drawing inserted into a pamphlet entitled Instruction Manual & Orientation to Various Meanings. These items present insightful meditations on the project by the artist based upon her near-lifelong engagement with the quipu as intellectual, aesthetic and spiritual configuration. Edition of 32 copies, now available. $3,500. Pre-publication price until December 15, 2011 is $3,000
