Amos P. Kennedy Jr. and Randall K. Burkett sit down in the Rose Library at Emory University for a lively conversation about Kennedy and his work. Kennedy, who left a corporate job more than 20 years ago to pursue his artistic passions full-time, uses an old-fashioned letterpress printer to make colorful chipboard posters with social, political, racial, and inspirational messages. Kennedy also makes beautiful hand-made books. The Rose Library holds a collection of his work. The audio for this conversation comes from a video recording of the event in March 2016.
