Spectacular and captivating mask illustrations by artist Leonard Baskin (1922-2000), who is also known for his exquisite death mask artwork.

Masks, their first joint fine press project, is a collection of Michelson’s non-juvenile poems and Baskin’s grotesque imagery, which inspired the ironic poems.
