This anthology Includes reprints of a selection of curry's publishing activities focusing on his rubberstampings of minimalistic and concrete poems of his own and his circle of poets. Dean comments: this making precious of the single poem was the result of necessity as much as esthetic deliberation; curry published within a finite small budget.

Lakra's ghouls are not mere doodles; in their visual character, these creatures draw on the Day of the Dead...
