[JIE BAN MI SHI HU] Poetical Histories No 22.

First edition, first printing. Published by the poet Peter Riley and printed by Derek Maggs in an edition of 300 copies. A single folded sheet (28.5 x 22.5 cm) with Prynne's personal red seal impressed to the front panel. Printed in Chinese characters. A very good copy, the paper sharp and bright. Two faint indentations to the top edge of the rear panel. Scarce.

A beautifully printed Chinese poem by J. H. Prynne, reproduced from the author's holograph. Both here and in the various iterations of the poet's collected works, it is published without an English translation, although later printings are given the transliterated title 'Jie ban Shi Hu'.
