Scope and Contents
This book was conceived and directed by Harriet Bart and printed in collaboration with Philip Gallo. Bart writes that she searches "for ancient, small quotidian objects and early signs of writing. Countless treasures of the daily capture my imagination...Objects and inscriptions, beautiful and mysterious, carry forth their secret stories and the everyday poetry of praise." Each page of found poetry is recreated by Barth and contains a unique gilded geometric form. the binding is by Jill Jevne. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
