This is Gerz's first book and the first edition. For its time, this book was highly experimental both in its writing and typographic presentation and layout. Some of the poems appear to have been made by the cut-up technique popularized by Gysin and Burroughs. The German and English languages were often intermingled in the same sentences. Others poems were concrete and visual in format. Originals of a few of the visual poems are held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
