Minor creasing to the covers, else a fine copy of this very scarce book. From the bibliography: "In this poem Balakian's meditation on his family's Persian rug opens up into a kind of lyrical history of Armenia, its people, their energy and resilience, the natural wonders and dreams of what was and what is still contained in memory. The four vibrantly colorful linocuts by Barnard Taylor are based on patters in Kashan rugs. Hand-set in Spectrum. Hand-bound by Don and Pam Rash in Fabriano's hand-made Roma. Edition of 100 copies on Arches Text Wove or Mohawk Superfine Text.".
