Item description from seller

[C. W. Swets], [1999]. [8]pp. Unprinted matte brown wraps, 10 x 8-1/2 in. Fine paper end leaves, with one sheet of vellum preceding a single poem, "Ode to Narcissus," apparently written by Swets, and printed (aside from the title) as a mirror image. Fine. From the library of New York School poet, librettist, and publisher Kenward Elmslie (1929-2022); inscribed to him on the first page: "April 27, 1999 For Kenward, To celebrate his 70th birthday! Love, CW." Swets, a companion/assistant of Elmslie's for several years in the late 1990s, also collaborated with him on the design of a series of Z Press chapbooks pairing poets and artists. This publication apparently unique.
