Scope and Contents

Abstract images for the pages were first produced by means of a sandragraph process, i.e., from fabric stretched around a birch plywood block. The poems were then printed with letterpress over the abstract images. Concrete and visual poems were composed on the right-hand pages to depict the sound of moving fabric. The binding is a butterfly accordion style; pulling the foredge releases the pages for display purposes. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
