Slave Days

Published in 1975 by Kornblee Gallery with funding from poet James Merrill, Slave Days features twenty-nine poems by Hill paired with thirty-one photocopier prints she made of small domestic objects — a cookie cutter, a hairbrush, a wishbone, a toy frog, etc. On the cover is an image of an earring that can be read as a ball and chain.

Slave Days is the first of Hill’s many ventures into the publication of her photocopies through offset reproduction.
