Scope and Contents

Peignot provides examples of word-images along with comments in an alphabetic listing. He uses alterations of letter spacing and boldness of the Futura typeface, repetition of letters, anagraphic presentation, variations in the arrangement of letters, mirror imaging, and punctuation marks to enhance and visually define the meaning of words. The poems are related to those found in another book published by Peignot in the same year, Toutes les Pommes se Croquent. Both books are held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
