Bookseller's description: One of 50 copies only, on hand-made Dieu Donne' cotton paper, signed by the artist on the colophon, page size: 10 x 13-1/2". Printed by Dan Keleher and Bruce Chandler at Wild Carrot Letterpress in Dante type designed by Mardesteig and set by Michael Bixler. This extraordinary book is hand-collaged using specially made papers, some with flower petals in the paper, Japanese laces, silver tea paper, and it explores several graphic media, including pochoir and etch and also contains a number of original watercolors. Bound: grey linen over boards stamped in two colors with specially made papers in grey and lime green, fine. Published on the 75th anniversary of the writing of Joyce's prose poem, which was first published in 1968 in a facsimile of the original manuscript, this edition is a delight. The affinity of Susan Weil's art to the works of Joyce has been demonstrated in the now out-of-print 1988 publication, EPIPHANIES.
