Octavo. 28ff, french fold. Illustrated with eleven "elimination linocuts" inked with watercolor. These powerful images accompany a suite of poems by Cox which are intended to be read out loud, and evoke the sounds of nature. The balance in this book of word, sound and image brought David Chambers to conclude that this is "(p)erhaps his masterpiece". This is the the third book from the Gogmagog Press. In the original binding of blue-gray cloth piped with sage green cloth; red and white plastic labels on upper cover and spine. Dampstain to front flyleaf scantly touching title page margin, else near fine. Press checklist laid in. Ex-library.
