Scope and Contents

The typewriter derived prints in this publication are printed on different weight and colored papers. A critical analysis of these poems was written by jw curry in an unpublished manuscript, What about what (1985). He pointed out that permutation of what to 'twhat or twat' depicted "by typewriter drawings of female genitalia, more 'pedals uv yr luv' opening into the fullness of an upper-cased WHAT..." Atwha signifies 'a trois,' depicted by 2 sexual images, one a photograph, the other a typed poem with x's & o's. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
