It was loaded with pigment from its last job, so each pressing produced a different color in the sheet, beginning with a hot pink & lighter to an orange & on to Ivory & finally off-white with light tangerine deckles!" Two Decades of Hamady & the Perishable Press, 24. A beautiful fine printing of Wakoski's haunting poem.
