This work consists of a metal case that contains a paper scroll with concrete poetry printed in varied fonts and sizes with areas of space around the letters and words. The metal case was appropriated by the artist from a device used by chicken egg farmers to inspect them. The scroll is turned within the case by means of two handles. Several words have fragmented letters perhaps as a stylistic metaphor to the "new typography" of the nineties. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

On the back cover, Mollohan states that he "was born in a log cabin. Well, not quite. I was born in 1947, which from 2010, seems like a log cabin. I have been interested particularly in those arts which push envelopes. I wrote my first poem between first and second grade. I've lived in Charleston, WV since 1975. I've worked for government, trade unions, bookstores, pizza places, software firms, and other non-poetic places. My visual poem, "Singularity" was used as a CD cover by Capitol Records. My poetry has been taught at the University of Iowa (thanks, Dan!). My ambitions are few, yet"¦ambitious. Nothing short of Nirvana will suffice. The contents of this book are conceptual photographs, artwork, and other plastic works that I deem to be evocative in a manner similar to that of a traditional poem. They are rather like Haiku of the mind." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
