Learning to Play by Ear

This is the second publication of Two Hands Press, and continues our series on apprenticeship. Our First volume was by Clayton Eshleman. Poets work hard to achieve and maintain their craft. Often they serve an apprenticeship, either one of their own making or one within a tradition. Our series gives working poets an opportunity to state what that particular apprenticeship was, and perhaps what they believe the apprenticeship of a poet should be. The press is located in the basement of Two Hands Bookstore ans was given to us along with a case type. The printing work on this book was done mostly through meeting Monday nights, by George Bell, Larry Bole, Sallye Leventhal, Len Kiczula, and Douglas Macdonald. It was completed June 1980. Three Hundred copies of this book were printed on Rives heavyweight paper using a Gordon platen press built around 1880. The type face is Caslon Old Style. Fifty copies were signed and numbered by the author.
