Description: Thin octavo. 9.75" x 6.75". Unpaginated. WHERE THE SUN SETS Where dark birds fly and icy waters churn the salmon up and over stone and sunlight, so these poems go. New words describe an old order of its own, arranged around a cup of tea the poet pours under a speckled sky. Snyder's poetry flows this way and that, brings rowdy Mother Nature closer in, follows the tracks that lead us ever onward to some precipice, to riddles of existence, the face-to-face of place, headwaters where north meets west. 9 red and black Haida designs remind us that frog, raven, orca, and grizzly among others are our companions. These 6 poems complete the cycle "Mountains & Rivers Without End" started 30 years before. Limited letterpress edition, 300 copies handbound in Japanese linen with illustrated label front panel, signed by the poet on the title page. Laid in are 2 publisher's prospectuses, for this title and Denise Levertov's "The Double Image", donating 10% of sales of both toward the care of fine press printer and poet William Everson. Japanese linen boards, illustrated cover label
