Citrus fruit wrappers are ephemera produced to both protect the fruit in transit and represent the brand in a colorful way. These examples are notable because they include recipes in lieu of colorful imagery to market the product.

The producers represented here include Jasmine brand oranges (Duarte, California); Red Ball (California); and Sunkist (Highland, California).

Description
Brockport, New York: Boa Editions, Ltd, 2008. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 6x0x9. First edition. An exceptional copy. 2008 Hard Cover. 120 pp. Born in Syria in 1930, Adonis later moved to Lebanon and became a pivotal figure in the new poetry of the late 1960s. With the publication of Mihyar of Damascus: His Songs in 1963—widely viewed as a watershed moment in Arabic poetry—Adonis forged a new set of possibilities for Arabic poetry, writing in traditional meters but infusing them with modernist rhythms, styles, and conceptual complexities. Translators Adnan Haydar (University of Arkansas in Fayetteville) and Michael Beard (University of North Dakota) co-edit a series of books, Middle East Literature in Translation, for Syracuse University Press.
