Johanna Drucker contributes an introductory essay on historic aspects of visual poetry which is carried forth to multimedia information systems of today. She also was responsible for the cover design. Karl Young contributes an afterword in which he focuses on mail art. He particularly addresses his own, ongoing Shadow Project that refers to the faint traces people left on nearby surfaces after they were vaporized by the atomic bombs in Japan. Young indicates that d.a. levy stands out as the major figure in the last three decades who left an indelible inprint on underground publications and visual poetry. He also adds that Tom Phillips is the most complete book artist. The Sackner Archive partially funded this exhibition. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
