Welcome to the coalface of poetry: a unique combination of poems & polemics by David Merritt fused together for the first time. Concerning influence both literary & otherwise, the history of the desktop publishing revolution, best practices for making rich compost out of brute materialist society… In this world there's no good reason to see DIY printing & gardening as significantly separate skill sets. Alongside two lyric essays—A Small Crisis of Self-Confidence & The Means of Duplication—each reproduction includes a different foldout DM poem, pinup-style.

The first edition is risograph printed & bound with premium banana box card.
