Quarto. (21)pp. Eight multi-color etchings by Goldberg were created independently, then paired with Hirsch's poems as both complement and confrontation between visual and literary forms. Exemplary of the project, if perversely so, is Hirsch's "The Case Against Poetry," which has no facing image - there seems to be no rational visual element to meet the explicit praise of poetry's irrationality. Bound in full silver silk with one of Goldberg's motifs in white to upper cover and printed paper label the length of the spine. Fine. Housed in slipcase. Prospectus laid in.
