The press does not exist as it had in 2002. It might have come into existence just to publish this book. The poet might also have made this book as a way to dovetail into the art world. In either case, it's a bit of an Art Book that I am happy to have found along the way.

In April 2026 I ventured north to New England to take in the first ever Vermont Art Book Fair which took place in Burlington, Vermont on April 10 & 11. It was an amazing array of book artists and print makers and student made work (like this one).
Collage small formatted staple bound effort. I made her sign this copy. I believe she's a student at the University of Vermont. I hope she continues to produce art.

I know nothing of this man. I did a google search and according to AI (as though that is a reliable source) this man had enough of an electronic footprint that what AI spewed was nothing but gushy accolades. So, I looked for his books on Amazon and, ah, he used the same cover image for another book, Hidden Behind My Mask, which was published in 2019. The exact statue face.
This chapbook has zero publication history and do not list a publisher.
It's not my mystery to uncover. Also, I am not impressed with his poetry.

Handsome book with wonderful illustrations throughout. Love the feel of the cover, but the paper stock the poems are printed on feel like Xerox stock. Alas. Then again, this was a 200 copy run of the second printing of the book. That's something to note.

Was recently in New England and visited a friend in Rutland, Vermont who took me to Phoenix Books where I saw this chapbook. It's regional. 28 pages. The poet lives and works in state. The poems are grounded and stable as the state itself. The cover art is by Lindsey Taylor.
