Minneapolis: Indulgence Press, 2007. Hardcover. 1 of 26 deluxe lettered copies. This is Letter W. Signed by author and book artist. This book contains 31 previously unpublished poems by the highly regarded poet Michael Dennis Browne. The poems are short and intended to elicit larger thoughts by the reader.

The book structure acts as a composition around the lines of text to float the poems along the way.

The pages are French folded and include cyanotype photographic prints; they are sewn with exposed cords laced into red oak boards.
