New York: SUN / Coach House South, 1977. Fine. 8vo. Original cloth, gilt-lettered on spine. FIRST EDITION, SIGNED by Towle on the title-page and numbered 30/35. Although there is no colophon, nor limitation statement, it is presumed this is a limited issue in cloth with manuscript designation by the author, as the book is commonly found in original wrappers with an illustration by Robert Motherwell. Towle, a New York poet, won the Frank O'Hara Award for 1970. He conducted a poetry workshop for the Poetry Project of the St. Mark's Church for the 1969-70 season.
