The Photography

Came the Lightening

'Olivia evokes the most fleeting gestures and instants, plucked from the flow of time and memory and felt through her choice of words and the overall rhythm... She might have done an oral history or a memoir. Instead, she composed a work of poetic autobiography.' - Martin Scorsese

The Deluxe Copies

Came the Lightening

Came the Lightening is published in a signed limited edition of 1,500 copies. The first 500 copies in the edition are presented as Deluxe boxed sets.

Each Deluxe copy is signed by the author, Olivia Harrison. The 104-page volume of poetry and photographs is fully bound in yellow cloth with bronze foil blocking and page edging, presented within a hand-crafted, folding solander case.

Fine Art Prints 

Additionally contained within the boxed set are four loose-leaf, fine art prints. Three evocative photographs taken within the gardens of Friar Park are reproduced as numbered Giclée prints (size: 5½" x 8"). The images are exclusive to the Deluxe edition. Fourthly, one of Olivia Harrison's twenty poems, 'Carved in Stone', is presented as a traditional letterpress print (also 5½" x 8" size). The print is numbered by hand, and individually signed by Olivia Harrison.

Milagro Charm & Oak Bookmark

Completing the boxed set are two unique, hand-crafted items. A different sacred heart milagro charm is included within each copy. Lastly, an engraved Came the Lightening bookmark has been made from the wood of a fallen oak tree from the grounds of Friar Park, especially for these Deluxe copies.
