The print on translucent paper lists a circular stream of words, printed in different colors, that relate to celestial bodies. These float over the second print that depicts a large silver globe with latitude and longitude lines. Disintegrating silver capital "V's and other letterforms on the outer border of the globe provide an visual effect that it is spinning.

 Item
Identifier: CC-11338-11554
Scope and Contents

Peter Finch introduces his collected works by tracing those poets who influenced him. He writes that "concrete poetry does not use language for the recollection of emotion in tranquility but as the material of the poem itself." The book includes a poem, "Breath (after Philip Glass)," which repetitively utilizes the phrases, "the breath came and the breath went," as an incessant background rhythm for the main text in an analogous way that Philip Glass presents his music compositions. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
