“This page opening has a lithograph by Mark, printed by Tim Sheesley, on the verso. On the recto is a poem by Eleanor Wilner, machine-set by Michael Bixler in 14 point Dante, which I then hand-set and shaped to form a crescent. Also, for this book, there was much letterspacing of Gill and Gill Greek capitals for the “Hymn to Selene”—both the English and the Greek were set in all caps.”—AL
