One of 135 copies all on Frankfurt Cream and Deep Green Ingres paper in three colors each hand numbered and signed by the author / artist / printer Jean Buescher and the calligrapher Nancy Leavitt.

Letter press printed by Jean Buescher from metal engravings of Nancy Leavitt's original calligraphy in blue/gray pink/red and brown on green and cream colored papers; printing accomplished on a Vandercook Universal I at the Digger Pine Press. Nancy Leavitt's beautiful calligraphy is elegantly spaced bringing life to Jean Buescher's tender words. Art critic Maureen Bloomfield has written of Ms. Buescher's work "The energy.emanates from the interval; the space between act and aftermath; desire and effect. That her poems are thus often about space and the corresponding sensation and suspension of time makes me feel as if her work is best read not in typescript but in the context of a handmade book." In this book the combination of Nancy Leavitt's art is securely intertwined with that of Jean Buescher's - making it a distinct pleasure to hold view and read. Blood Root Press unknown books
