Description:
North Truro, MA: Pond Road Press, 2006. First Printing. Wraps. Fine. 9 x 6 inches, softcover, fine copy. Signed on the title page by Gilbert. One of perhaps 50 copies signed. This is one of the few copies that the publisher retained, and, heartbreakingly, one can get a real sense of Gilbert's steep decline into dementia as he messes up writing "Gilbert," scratches it out and writes it again. A lovely production. 24 pp. With large postcard prospectus laid in. Startling to everybody at the time, Gilbert managed to keep on writing revelatory poetry in his last few years, tapping into a wellspring and a place in his brain the dementia could not touch.
