Additional Details

number 4 of only 45 copies signed by clark and hejinian,from a total edition of 61. "The book presents a series of fairy tales gone awry—gone from the secure world of familiar knowledge and avuncular authority imparted to children into a hilarious, dark and dramatic space in which thinking happens in the seams between the sentences. While Hejinian's poems investigate the social logic that binds short, illustrative moral narratives, Clark's monoprints, unique in each copy, invent a space for this investigation in which rich colors, widely various drawing, printing, and transfer images behave almost as characters"--from the publisher.
