Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Limited Edition. Octavo, 52pp., illustrated. From The Bucknell University Fine Editions: A Series in Contemporary Poetry, edited by John Wheatcroft. A fine copy in the publisher's pinkish boards with purple cloth spine. Per the colophon: "This book was set in 14 point Spectrum and printed on mould-made Frankfurt laid paper with a Vandercook No.4 press. Hand-set by Juanita Bishop, Erin F. Labbie, and Colleen Shannon. Original illustrations by Florence Putterman were rendered into linoleum engravings by Colleen Shannon. The edition was designed and printed by Barnard Taylor. Each book was hand bound by Don Rash and Nicolyn Rosen." The linocuts, printed in several colors, are distinctly rich and vibrant; a very handsome book from this press. This is number 35 of 125 limited copies SIGNED by both Inez and Putterman. Necessarily among the scarcer volumes in this series, as the limitation of 125 is smaller than their usual limitation of 150. Laid-in is the publisher's prospectus, as well as a typed letter SIGNED by publisher Barnard Taylor, addressed to personal friends who were subscribers of the press.…
