On the back cover and internet, it is stated that Martha Deed is a poet and web.artist who lives on the Erie Canal in North Tonawanda in a house that causes writing to happen.

Her work has appeared on line and in print in many professional and literary journals. Martha Deed's websites: www.sporkworld.org/Deed and sporkworld.tumblr.com. Several of the images in this series have appeared previously: the cover and #10 were included in the Avant exhibit at the Skywalk Gallery, Columbus, Ohio; #6 can be seen at unlikelystories.org; #7, was included in the Erasures Exhibit at Yale University; #s 8-10 can be seen at logolalia.com/alteredbooks; and #15 will be in Rubbings (a forthcoming anthology). Martha says: "This series reflects a feeling of apprehension, the story of an actual murder in images when the facts alone were not enough (Cf The Lost Shoe, a Naissance chapbook). It's an attempt to answer the question: Can one recreate the sense of a person through collage "” a pack of plastic cards, notebooks, and even a playful video image? Can these images represent what life is like for some of us in the USA today?" -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
