The cover contains a portrait of Rimma titled "Light" in which she holds a baby drawn with dashes of light. A second photograph depicts Rimma with her arms, head and neck painted with the phases of the moon. It is called,"Lunation." the Sackner Archive holds several books and a large colored photograph by the Gerlovins. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
