Notes: In addition to Cox' playful, organic nature-printed intaglios in which his experimental approach creates striking effects, the settings of the text are unusual: the first section, 25 alphabetical alliterative poems, each with a red poster-style initial, the next section, playing with a palindromic form, the final section, a cacophony of patterns in type.
