Scope and Contents

Joyce Kaiser reprinted lines from the first poem of "Measures" by Nadya Aisenberg, reflecting on life's meaning. The lines of the poem are individually printed and placed randomly on all sides and top and bottom of the poem object. A chestnut is placed on the front of the base and resembles an Oriental rock. The book, published by salmonpoetry, consists of Aisenberg's poetry. The sculpture was made for and presented to Marvin Sackner on the occasion of his 70th birthday. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
