Dragons of Mist and Torrent
Teo Savory
Unicorn Press
Greenboro, NC
(c)1974
Unicorn Press has a storied past which I have to admit not being aware of until I went through a trove of chapbooks that I got last year and just am now researching. Any small press that began 60 years ago and is still going gets the tip of my hat, for certain. Al Brilliant and Teo Savory were the linchpins to this operation which began in Santa Barbara before moving to Greensboro, NC in 1972. What an incredible run of stellar work this tiny press has presented to the world! (Including work by Raymond Queneau!)
This chapbook is no exception. Japanese binding. Should be subtitled "The Canons of Hsieh Ho". Unpaginated. #278 of 450 pages (without signature). Beautiful chapbook.

Thank you for this. I came looking for examples of Japanese stab binding done in the US, and I found Teo Savory and her poetry, and her novels and her quite extraordinary life.
