Scope and Contents
The German word, Wurfelwurf, meaning throw of the dice, is printed in large capital letters in red, brown, and gray inks as a border around the folded and cut pages of this book. Rather than reprinting Mallarme's Un Coup de Des, Nasshan prints fragments of personal interest along with his impressions of the poem. Here the poem is subservient to Nasshan's creation of an artist book. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
