Poetry. Designed by James Dissette with original illustrations by Abigail Rorer. In Mary Jo Salter's new chapbook, the poet explores the art of losing, elegizing lost language, people, and places. LOST ORIGINALS moves from the landscape of a twentieth century nursing home, to William Blake's illuminated engravings and printer's proofs, to the burial traditions of ancient Egypt, and to a museum in snowy, present-day Chicago. This edition is an offset paperback version of the original letterpress hardcover edition.
