Quarter forest green French goatskin over decorative black English paper. . Folio (12.5" x 6.75"). .

It is printed letterpress on dampened Barcham Green paper, handmade in 1986 at the Hayle Mill (now closed) in Maidstone, Kent, England. A fine copy. Prospectus laid in. On Rooks consists of a "set of splendidly rich poems that records the minutiae of the moment, moving from the micro to the macro throughout. The poems are both the residue of privacy and an accounting of terrain, the poet's territory; a collision of megalopolis, mountain, and desert meeting in a fire" (from the prospectus).
