The text consists of Thomas Meyer's 'tracings' of Goethe, Holderlin, Heine, C. F. Meyer, Nietzsche, Stefan George, Rilke and Celan. In his poetic introduction, John Ashbery writes, 'Meyer's beautiful takes on German Romantic poetry take one far, to unexpected destinations that often turn out to be the essence of the poems ...Sandra Fisher's black-and-white monotypes are the perfect travelling companion'. The poems are set in Monotype Garamond and hand-printed on 160gsm Canaletto (Liscio). Each book contains fourteen facsimiles of original monotypes by Sandra Fisher, printed on 170gsm Rives Natural. The regular edition of 150 cased copies is bound by The Fine Bindery.
