About This Item
Milano: self-published, no date. [22p] illustrations and text pasted to heavy cardstock pages, sewn, bound in green buckram cloth with remains of scotch-tape on cover (which once held the author-artist's large business card as a title) 12 b&w drawings all but the last features an otter. The final image is of a giraffe resting on a globe in space. Three typewritten sheets containg a summary of the proposal laid-in. This appears to be the artist-poet's own mock-up of a proposed book of poetry relating to ecology. The laid-in typed summary speaks of the artist in third-person but may actually be her own words (it is not signed).
