One of 100 copies printed by Richard Bigus in de Roos uncial types on Imago handmade paper. Signed by Bigus, Dearth, & Mendelson. Flowing typography eliminates poem titles; each poem begins with an initial in red. "A primary esthetic concern in this work was the optical harmony of weaving words and space. Whole days were spent kerning and adjusting letters on each two page spread."
