New York: Delacorte / Seymour Lawrence, 1982. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Signed, limited edition (#31/250) with tipped-in colophon page. Octavo (23 cm), pp. 212. Tan cloth in paper-covered slipcase. All edges gilt. Slipcase illustrations and interior drawings by Russell Chatham. White slipcase, with portrait of author, is a tad dingy. Includes poems from Plain Song, Locations, Outlyer, Letters to Yesenin and Returning to Earth, as well as 20 new works [Orr & Torrey, A16.d]. In a review for this book, Publisher's Weekly referred to Harrison as "an untrammeled renegade genuis," a phrase the author liked so much he turned it into a t-shirt.
