Signed by Donald Glaister at colophon with the inscription "for Deke". A spectacular artist's book with pages of laminated aluminum and boards.

Leaves of polyester film, smaller than the size of the metal and board pages, have the Whitman text letterpress printed. Glaister's meditations on the "beyond", dedicated to Don Moore, the late brother of Glaister's wife, Suzanne Moore. Provenance: Deke and Joanne Sonnischen.
