L'auteur écrit, dans la préface de cette rétrospective :
It surprises me that I have been writing and publishing poetry for twenty-five years. For which I have poetry itself to thank. Because I was so often filled with despair over my own and the world's shortcomings, especially during childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood, I assumed I would be a suicide by age thirty
First collected edition (stated, with letter line "A B C D E" on the copyright page).
Signed by the author on the half-title page.
Pictorial dustjacket designed by Vaughn Andrews and Trina Stahl, price unclipped (one corner slightly dented, top of back flap slightly soiled).
Publisher's boards, brown cloth spine lettered in gold, printed paper boards featuring the same design as the dustjacket (fine).
Jaquette illustrée conçue par Vaughn Andrews et Trina Stahl, bien complète du prix (un coin légèrement appuyé, dernier rabat de couverture légèrement sali en tête).
