The Nap by the Waterfall
Howard Nelson

The Nap by the Waterfall was published in early spring 2009. Howard Nelson had written a perceptive review of Walt McLaughlin's A Hungry Happiness a couple of years earlier and then inquired whether I'd take a look at his manuscript. I thought if his poetry matched his review, it would be something Timberline would indeed like to see. In the process we cut out a few of the poems, and the result is a collection with a strong voice and keen insights into the human condition. The text is 12 pt. Garamond Old Style with Jefferson Gothic display on Wausau Royal Linen text and cover. The endpaper is Canson Mi-Teintes. The zinc-cut for the cover was manufactured by the Augustine Company of Marshalltown, Iowa, from a drawing by Thomas Middleton.
