This book is the result of a 2-year collaboration between poet Jeremy Sigler, artist Jessica Stockholder, and the brilliant artist/printer Ruth Lingen.

The artist etched the litho images directly onto the plates. The type is Bulmer, with various metal and wood sans serifs, all hand set.
All typography and printing done by Ruth Lingen, with assistance from Kathy Kuehn, Ariel Kitch, and Casey Roberts.
