Edition of 100. Five hole pamphlet bound stitch; heavy baby blue stock wrappers; vellum endpapers; front flyleaf contains tipped in sepia tone reproduction of an original diagram made by Vincenzo Viviani and Galileo's son, Vencenzo, of the model for the application of the pendulum clock. Book presents original poetry by Featherston. "These poems compromise the first 12 sections of a longer work entitled The Clock Maker's Memoir, which is a meditation on the ways in which time is reified, quantified, and metaphorized...many of these sections involve the child's conception of time, since both the child at play and the clockmaker are invested in imaginative relationships between material and conceptual realities..."--Colophon. CBA copy is accompanied by a one page description of this work, provided by Handwritten Press.
