The poem object is a black egg placed in the bottom center of an acrylic jar. The title, Kaddish, is the Jewish prayer of mourning. At the base of the egg, a line of poetry by Walt Whitman is set in a spiral line. It reads,"All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses, And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier." The box is printed with the quote from an unidentified person, "...when she put out all her eyes from grief, they did not turn to fire but fell to earth as eggs..." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

This is a homage to an art gallery director in San Francisco.

The cups are inscribed at the bottom "I WISH YOU WELL." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The Thing Quarterly is a periodical in the form of an object. It's like a magazine, except that each issue is conceived of by a different contributor and then published as a useful object. Jennifer Clavin, the lead vocalist of the punk band "Bleached" contributed several wonderful graphic, concrete poetic designs depicted in this record. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
