A keepsake published in a limited edition of 400 copies, which "came about because Seamus Heaney, the Nobel prize-winning poet, visited the press and presented us with his translation of a poem by Alexander Pushkin entitled 'Arion'. We have printed the Russian text opposite Heaney's English version and added the classical account of Arion saved from the sea by a dolphin to contrast with Pushkin's variant interpretation of the story" (quote from the Arion Press).
