Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. One of 800 copies. 8vo. Blue/purple cloth. 112pp. Represents much of Rodefer's writing of the last ten years to that point, including 'Erasers'. Rod Mengham writes: 'Of all the most intensely American of poets, Stephen Rodefer is the most European. The scenes and images and vocabularies of homecoming that dominate his work are all translated from foreign tongues'. Very Good, with a few spots to the head edge, the cloth a little rubbed/marked in places, the spine tail gently bumped, in like dust jacket, somewhat rough to the reverse and with light peripheral spotting, the lower panel with a mild line of indentation (probably in production), but generally crisp. A (soiled) flyer for a reading in 2000 by Rodefer and Mengham is loosely inserted.
