Laxson uses scientific statements in a poetic mixture with social perceptions and feelings. These pages are printed in her typical arrangement of mixing different fonts and font dimensions. She also includes five pages of naive line drawings of a leader, a visionary, traffic, a friend, and a muse/guardian that contrast in style and content to the scientific, sophisticated typographic pages. Both inside covers have been collaged from edge to edge with letterpressed printed text. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
