The poem deals with the spiritual experience of the ceation of the first male in the form of an illustrated book. The poem is illustrated with semirealistic, figurative line drawings. The calligraphic text of the poem with varied degrees of gray shading was probably done using a computer generated laser printer. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

This work was purchased from the exhibition "Textiles/Fibers/Threads: The Book Show" at The Center for Book Arts, New York. The exhibition was curated by Kumi Korf and Charlotte Thorpe. Hensel describes her work as follows: "The words we all speak and think link together in sentences, disjointed phrases, odd web structures, broken threads and dangling participles. The words rush out of a vein, they cascade over all our experiences. This particular piece is about those threads of conversation left unfinished, dangling out of context, with sometimes unexpected consequences. At the time that I wrote this piece, I was thinking about the cruelty of teenage girls and about the half-truths and innuendos we hear on the news daily. This is a meander through the effects of impulsive adolescent conversations and rumors." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
