“Gary loved this poem which tells a story that could be the outline for a novel, and wanted to see it printed like a miniature novel, so asked us to help. As I remember things Gary printed the text and we bound the book. It is definitely not printed on my handmade paper. The binding was to mimic the hard cover copies of a novel, and the dust jacket made by the newly practical color photocopy process. We initially priced the book at a remaindered price, a statement about the relative success of novels vs poems.”
