Number 192 in an Edition of 200; signed by author, artist and designer. Single folio consisting of red, laminated, tri-fold card stock, with gold embossed text and illustration on front flap. In form and typographic layout, this work emulates the form of a Chinese restaurant menu, but instead of food options, poetry is presented; its lines are arranged under different headings, ('Terrain'; 'Retreat'; 'Old Time'; 'Works'; 'Growth'; 'Song'). Text is overlain on a backdrop of abstracted figural line drawings printed in green ink.
