Bill Kelly and James Renner have collaborated on numerous projects since they started working together in 1979—this is their first limited edition. In this, the poem by Kelly was written in response to Renner’s images. It is a parable of folly, wherein feckless humans mark their presence while their counterparts in nature warily look on.
