A day in the apartment

Iowa City, Iowa: Cat's Paw Press, 1972. Edition limited to 75 copies, 8vo, pp. [8]; fade-line along the fore-edge of the upper wrapper, else fine in original printed gray wrappers. From the library of Kim Merker. Zimmon was for a while a partner with Kay Amert at the Seamark Press, also in Iowa City. "Soon after coming to Iowa, Kay had met and fallen in love with an Iowa native by the name of Howard Zimmon. He lacked her brilliant eye, but he matured into a capable pressman with an insatiable hunger for poetry and a verdant imagination. He was born nine years earlier than she (in 1938) and died nine years earlier (in 1999). They lived together from 1967 until 1979 - the period in which she did most of her serious printing. The Seamark Press has therefore sometimes been described as a partnership between the two, and in some respects no doubt it was" (Bringhurst, Robert, "In Memoriam, Kay Louise Amert" as in Parenthesis 16). OCLC locates only the copy at Iowa.
