New book from Nawakum Press

one of the great pleasures of being a printer/poet is that I get at times to be printed by printers other than myself - just out now is a new book of my poetry, In a single gesture, published by David Pascoe at his Nawakum Press in Santa Rosa, California - designed by Jason Dewinetz, with calligraphy by Judy Detrick, printed by the legendary Patrick Reagh, and bound by John DeMerritt - it can be viewed at the Nawakum website here -
