rolling pine cone
One more from The Wishing Bone Cycle. From the chapter FAR NORTH BEAST GHOSTS THE CLEARING: Short Poems. "Once told, even poems derived from the most personal experiences become community property. This process of assimilation allows for endless variation on an an original theme."

Enzo Mari: The Fable Game
Il giocco delle favole (The fable game) by Enzo Mari, Danese, Milano, 1965 (This is the third variant, from 1971. Lithography in 12 colours on plastified cardboard sheets, 9 X 18 inches). The Fable Game is currently in its 5th printing, reissued by Edizioni Corraini (at 6 X 12.5 inches).
It’s not a book to read or to leaf through but to make, unmake and build up: a never ending adventure, played and invented anew each time by the endless possibilities at hand.
