7 x 14" panels in a two accordion-book set. Set in Diotima. Letterpress-printed by Roni Gross from polymer plates. Designed by Roni Gross and Peter Schell. Drawings are by Schell. Bound in Japanese cloth with hot-stamped titles. Housed in a Japanese cloth-covered clamshell box with a partitioned tray so books can sit side by side. Box constructed by Nancy Loeber.

Two poems from Gerry Gomez Pearlberg, "My Neighbor's Tree in Bloom" and "Litany at Dusk" are produced in this new publication from Z'Roah Press. "Portrait", in a vertical format, can be read from top to bottom and then displayed as a table sculpture which allows the red blossoms to hang below the center peak. The color of the blooms can be seen through the cut-outs in the blind-embossed drawing on the top side of the structure. "Litany", in the horizontal format, hangs on the wall. It extends to 70" from a bass wood stick that is threaded through ribbon loops.
