NIGHT FEET ON EARTH

1986; edition of 50. 10 x 11 in, 254 x 279 mm; 40 pp. Printed letterpress in four colours from woodletter and handcut zinc blocks. In a printed slipcase. "The recent visitation by Halley's Comet, and its image upon the Bayeux Tapestry, brought forth a poem about comet s and a divine child descending; a rather pagan Christmas carol. The poem is set in airily spaced woodletter capitals, and is alternately revealed either in white space or on a dark, starry backdrop. A comet appears. Its form is gained from the back leg and tail of a dark horse that moves about the printed firmament. The horse is sometimes dismembered, and sometimes whole. "
