Notes:

Cover title. Edition of 5. "O is a response to a 16th century lyric, Western Wind, or Westron Wynde--a four line poem that, as it has been passed down to us, has been transcribed, emended, and interpreted in distinctly different ways. This book offers a newly embodied version of the poem as part of our ever-unfinished work of striving to understand. The imagery has been created from hand-dyed and / or letterpress printed Kitakata. The dyes used are indigo and logwood. The type is printed from well-loved Janson on a Challenge Proof Press at Stonecreek Studio"--Colophon. Special Collections has one of 5 copies. IaU
