The Absence of Light (1995) is the first of four publications designed, typeset, and printed by hand at Cobtree Press in Aylesford, England, by Tony and Margaret Smith. The lovely, apt design, the fine materials they use, and the meticulous, loving care they’ve taken with this one poem from conception to production typify all of their work.

75 copies sewn bound with both plain and deckled borders were printed. Copies are no longer available.
