Scope and Contents
The title is derived from a line by Antonin Artaud. Hirschman states "This book focuses on gesture of line, color, and letters. There's a poem and then there's not a poem in this book. The words are crossed through by the paint, and vice-versa - intentionally to reflect the jangling about of sensibility during this time." (Gulf War) -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
