Tucson, AZ: Chax Press, 2000.
First printing. (30) pp., 11.25 x 13.5 inches. Poems printed letterpress on handmade mulberry paper, torn and adhered to Tiara paper printed with wood type letters and numbers in dispersed patterns, with additional hand markings on the pages. Handbound in Moriki papers over boards in an adapted oriental binding, in an edition of eighty numbered copies, signed by the poets.

Collaborative poems by Hejinian and DiPalma, in an innovative and intriguing realization by poet-printer Charles Alexander.
One of the most handsome and elegant of the letterpress books from the press, Chartings sold out quickly, and turns up quite infrequently now.
