Scope and Contents
This book is a masterpiece of rubberstamp printing. Its theme is a rendition in the criminal's version of his apprehension by the Justice System in Toronto as interpreted by curry in a concrete/visual poetic style. The design is a masterpiece of the rubberstamping genre.The texts provide an improvised "discontinuous transcription" of statements made by an out-of-control Canadian felon after his arrest by the Toronto Metro Police August 18, 1988, as recorded by a reporter from the sensationalist SUN newspaper. Joe Poland's statements after his arrest provide some bizarre entertainment: a cross between "found poetry" and a "cutup". -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
