• "[C]ontains two original poems by poet, teacher, writer and film critic, Morton Marcus (1936-2009). While preserving the integrity of the author's original text, the decision to marry these two poems and their respective titles creates a third poem in which urban and rural themes interact ... A single poem, That's What You Write About, can be read on the left hand page of the double page spread and a single poem, Give & Take, can be read on the right hand page of the double page spread. A second choice comes into play when the reader chooses to read the book in sequential order, from left to right. Only then a new poem is realized in which the urban and rural interact with the turning of each page."--Prospectus.
• Bound in circular boards with cloth hinge and stab-binding; stitching visible. Letterpress titles on front cover. Housed in a square drop-spine box covered in synthetic red leather and blue cloth. The poet's name is letterpress printed in the spine.
