THE TARANTELLA ROSE, SIX POEMS BY WILLIAM EVERSON. by Everson, William. Limited to 75 numbered copies. Six poems, previously unpublished, written on the occasion of the death of Robinson Jeffers. Letterpress printed on flax paper, handmade by Peter Thomas, and illustrated with seven linoleum cuts by Donna Thomas. Bound in a modified limp vellum technique with the printed pages sewn onto dark rose colored paper laces which are then threaded into the cover, with the sewing left exposed on the spine. The cover paper was hand made from muslin rag, and replicates the supple durability of turn-of-the-century English vellum. Housed in a custom clamshell portfolio box made by Book Lab, covers of cream cloth, spine label and inner box of dark rose paper, edged in cloth of a darker rose shade.
