First published by Christopher's Books in Santa Barbara, California in 1974. Much of the edition was subsequently destroyed by fire; the poems were altered in 2007 by the poet for this Ninja Press edition.
Issued in a slipcase covered in a natural-colored linen. Title label mounted at head of spine case and on the front cover.
Rare Book copy: Accompanied by prospectus (laid in).
Text pages consist of twelve unbound folios. Each of the twelve folios has been painted in hand on front and back using sumi ink and salt by Carolee Campbell. The folios are held in a goat parchment cover. The text is house in a chemise wrapper cover in deep green Asahi Japakense silken cloth.
"The type is hand set Van Dijck with Weiss Initials Series I for the display printed on dampened Domestic Etching. ... The design, presswork and binding are by Carolee Campbell at the Ninja Press with the assistance of Karen Skove Chu in the bindery."--Colophon.
"The edition is comprised of 85 numbered copies, signed by both poet and artist with an additional 10 lettered hors commerce."--Colophon
