The prints making up this catalogue were those that were displayed as the exhibition. They were reproduced from prior publications. Several originals by Dom Sylvester Houedard, Peter Mayer, Jeff Nuttall, and Tom Phillips from this exhibition are held by the Sackner Archive. There was no bound catalogue published on this exhibition. Therefore, the totality of this catalogue is unique. The work is an excellent reference for the examples of concrete and poetry done in the 60's and 70's.

Designated ICPA publication No.5. A loose sheet introduces definitions of ether and ethereal, e.g. an elastic and subtle substance believed to permeate all space... This phrase is printed without spacing on transparent acetate to overlay each of five poems for a Moire effect. The repetitive text of one broadside reads Lovetherealove...
