Notes: "...Richard Wilbur's evocative poem, has been made as a two part limited edition of 54 copies.... The full text has been printed letterpress by Charles Hobson.... These pages have been interleaved with vellum sheets printed with digital pigment prints and hand cut with the shapes of a starling in flight based on drawings by Charles Hobson. The accompanying flip book, or "flutter book", containing a selection of certain words from the poem, has been bound as an accordion and scored so as to permit viewing in an extended manner." --Colophon.

The larger volume (20 x 29 cm.) is stitched in paper covers and laid in a slipcase of cloth-backed printed boards; the flip book (8 x 29 cm.) is unbound and in a printed paper slipcase; the two are issued together in a matching clamshell case.
