Distributed by Falkynor Books in Davie, Florida. Small poetry books, printed on multi-colored paper and bound with two staples each. Each volume is illustrated by Robert Lax with doodle-like drawings, and all are designed (or include illustrations) by Michael Lastnite. 

A collection featuring this many scarce booklets is incredibly difficult to come by, and has never been offered at auction. Robert Lax (1915-2000) was an American poet, who later in life, resided on an island in Greece. He did very little to promote his work, so these booklets were likely all produced in very small runs.
