Scope and Contents

This poem, the first done in English by Lalou, was written with a conventional calligraphic style on the front of the series of the folded paper that formed four unbound pages. In addition, parts of the poem were written in a highly experimental style with vertical elongation and personal flourishes added to the letters. Lalou also illustrated these pages using brightly colored inks to form images composed of abstract calligraphic markings. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
