Scope and Contents
Froman defines seeing poems (concrete poems) as the outline of a light bulb which "...happens when when words take a shape that helps them to turn on a light in someone's mind." A few poems relating to breathing are included in the book such as "Superstink." This concrete poem depicts a bus at a stop, a start-up, followed by an engine backfire with a big cloud of pollutants released into the atmosphere causing a cacophony of cough, gasp, choke, sneeze, snuffle etc. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
