About This Item
Galisteo, New Mexico: Desert Rose Press, 1993. First Edition. Stiff paper wraps. Fine. William Slater. Small 8vo. Pp. 62. With spot illustrations by William Slater. Bound in illustrated stiff wrappers printed in black and red. Inscribed by Burke on the half-title page. A TLS from Burke is laid-in, reminiscing about collaboration with a poet-sculptor, along with a photocopy of the letter from the poet-sculptor to which Burke's letter replies. Inscription reads, "To -- -- with fond, fond memories. And El Gaia, too! Love, [signed] Cliff". Although Burke decamped for Galisteo, New Mexico, most of these poems address the sacredness of the region around the Skagit Valley, where the poet was associated with the 1970s bohemia of Fishtown. The exquisite illustrations by Skagit Valley artist William Slater (1939-2007) capture the essence of Burke's tone.
