This is the second volume of poetry by Bruce Embree to be issued by the Limberlost Press. Although the colophon states that there were 26 copies bound in cloth, lettered and signed by the author, Bruce tragically took his own life as the book was being printed and the press abandoned the edition after only 12 copies were made. None were numbered nor signed. The title poem is the author's suicide note..."This is my last wish and love poem..."
The rarest of all Limberlost Press limited editions.
