Scope and Contents
This work, which was commissioned by the Sackner Archive, was subsequently made into a limited edition print with the same title. The main poem in the center of the work, constructed as a paper relief from clippings of newspapers and magazines with varied typefaces and dimensions, begins "I am writing a letter on the back side of a cloud." Other briefer poems are also incorporated into the work using fragments of different languages. The major visual image is a paper relief man-feathered-animal like figure with a poem as its tail. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
