Concrete poems were created from collated headlines. Eight were composed by the art students and five by Finlay. Ann Stevenson who did "Water Wheels in Whirl" is known as Ann Noel and is the wife of Emmett Williams. Work is dedicated to Eve Furnival, and cover of portfolio consists of a grid of identical child-drawn images of Finlay entitled "The Flying Scatsman." In this copy, the title page has a typographic error, viz., Published dy (sic) Openings Press...(this was not observed in another copy formerly held by the Sackner Archive). Ian Hamilton Finlay's "13 evelines," were sent to John Furnival's daughter Eve as postcards on thirteen consecutive days by students in Furnival's Bath Academy of Art class. It was subsequently printed as this portfolio. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
