About This Item
Livingston University Press, 1994. Soft cover. Very Good/Good. 91 pages, with index of first lines. Poems are grouped into four sections: Contraband, Contradance, Contradiction, and Counterpoint. 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" in white card wraps with a few faint foxing-like marks on front cover, dust soil to top edge, practically no wear; DJ decorated with lizard wearing a spiffy metallic plume has small spots of soil, rubbing, and light shelf wear, with sunned spine. Inscribed to friends Ann and Warner Berthoff "with lizardy good wishes". Corrections on approximately a dozen pages and the rear DJ flap, evidently handwritten by the author (with Eugene, one wouldn't know that they weren't printed in "handwritten" style, but three quarters of the corrections are in the same ink as the inscription). From the library of Prof. Ann E. Berthoff.
