An image of a rubber chicken against an abstract background, surrounded by a quotation from Japanese author Yukio Mishima which reads "At the time of my birth for many years I believe I could recall many things I had seen before." It was produced for a 1987 Ohio State University student-faculty print portfolio. Chafetz's colleague Will Peterson also used the imagery of a plucked chicken as a logo for his press in Morgantown, West Virginia.
