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. This could have caused poor-quality production, i.e. Gestetner, offset or xerox. Instead it resulted in hand-stamp, hand-set rubber type, as his chosen (& unique) means of publication. His scaled down book remained both anarchic and typographically refined. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
