 [ Large Image ] | Refrain for Rental Boat #4 Tim Bowling 2008 / Poetry / $100.00 9781554470679 / Fine / 12 pp Edition is out of print This musical poem at once despairs and revels in a frustrating day from the author’s former life in the salmon-fishing industry on the Fraser River Delta. Bowling and his brother are set to head out on the river—it’s the perfect tide at the height of the run—but “Something is wrong with the Volvo prop!” The text of this poem was hand composed in Goudy Old Style and printed on Mohawk Superfine paper. Jack McMaster’s illustrations combine letterpress printing with the lost twentieth-century colouring technique of pochoir, or painting through stencils. This 12-page accordion-style book is trimmed to 8 × 8 inches and bound between boards covered in St. Armand handmade paper. | Other Books by this Author |  | Circa Nineteen Hundred and Grief Tim Bowling 2014 / Poetry / $19.95 CAN 9781554471348 / Trade paper / 80 pp |  | In the Suicide’s Library: A Book Lover’s Journey Tim Bowling 2010 / Fiction / $27.95 CAN 9781554470891 / Trade paper / 320 pp |  | The Annotated Bee and Me Tim Bowling 2010 / Poetry / $18.95 CAN 9781554470860 / Trade paper / 64 pp |  | The Bone Sharps Tim Bowling 2007 / Fiction / $27.95 CAN 9781554470358 / Trade paper / 312 pp |  | Fathom Tim Bowling 2006 / Poetry / $49.95 CAN 9781554470174 / Fine / 112 pp |  | Fathom Tim Bowling 2006 / Poetry / $18.95 CAN 9781554470167 / Trade paper / 112 pp |
