Limited Edition of 20 numbered and signed copies.
10 offered for sale. $120, priority shipping included.

The complete set of 38 poems about Mei Yao-ch’en. An innovative 11×14 design is encased by a cover designed and hand-made by St Brigid Press, featuring archival quality book boards covered in hand-made Nepalese paper with Tibetan cloud design. Into the front cover is cut a moon shape filled with a letterpress rendering of the title on rice paper. Text is printed offset on quality 96% opacity white 70 lb acid-free paper. The twenty numbered and signed copies of Moonlight & Shadow were bound by hand by Emily Hancock at St Brigid Press using a 16th century Chinese side-bound binding style called “Kangxi.” More information Emily’s materials can be found on her site.

Two of these poems, “While There Are No Gibbons Crying in the Trees…” and “Mei Yao-ch’en and I, Walking Downtown for Pizza on a May Afternoon…” appear in slightly different form in the Winter 2015 issue of the Beloit Poetry Journal. Many thanks to the editors, Melissa Crowe and Rachel Contreni Flynn.
