About this Item
Black cloth with gilt lettering. One of the first 10,000 printed, with one-of-a-kind original artwork to dust jacket. Signed by the author on half-title. Text is clean and white, no marks. Unclipped DJ shows mild soiling. "When did I know you were in the world? Distinct from all else and even so: of all the world? Did I know you first as a colorful thing, or had I heard you tumbling down a staircase and did I turn to see you fall, and then I would never forget you and I wanted to be near you and I touched you, my hands closed around you and I held you, our two skins were touching, a child and a lemon in their natural relation; I would have smelled you then, and probably would have put my tongue on your skin, you would have seemed big, like a melon to me now, maybe I even saw you then, saw you and then stopped seeing you, and now, years later." (from the jacket). Seller Inventory # C92014
