First line
The black unicorn stepped from the morning mists, almost as if born of them, and stared out over the kingdom of Landover.

Description:
Tight, square spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Only very gentle shelf-wear. Book design by Antonina Krass. In 1956, at the age of 22, Lorde boarded a Manhattan bus and was engulfed by the otherworldly sounds of an angelic choir, which briefly transported the young poet to a transcendent perch on a far-flung hill. This collection, written more than two decades later, offers glimpses of this moment ('in the place where the priestess/hurtles out palm-nuts/from enchanted fingers/and the stones mix/the colors of rainbows flashing/you came like a wheaten song') as it returns over and over to the oppressive, apocalyptic comedown of getting off that bus again ('Coming in and out of cities/untouched by their magic/I think without feeling/this is what men do/who try for some connection/and fail/and leave/five dollars on the table') The cover design by Jay J. Smith features lovely uncial titling and an image of a Bambara headdress—the Chiwara—signifying the antelope ancestor who introduced farming. 122 pp.
