Moi la Diete Blanche / Ignazio Apolloni., 2009

 Item
Identifier: CC-49672-70725

However none of the other poem objects seem to have a handle which creates the feeling of a portable book. The translation loosely is "I the essence [or whiteness] of diety." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
