Scope and Contents
The collage with three folded white handkerchiefs labeled "oral, topical, and spinal" refers to types of anesthesia and its relation to the poems in the rest of this work is not immediately apparent. The drawings consist of minimalist poetry with themes relating to food and common domestic events along with illustrations of fragments of a room. The prints depict concrete poems mainly with food related content. The seven silkscreen prints were published in an edition of 50. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
