Scope and Contents

The poems in the book of single words are an extension of the minimalist poetry of Aram Saroyan. In an introduction, Hill comments on two poems by Huth on facing pages, "Wooman and Breathsts" as follows: In "Wooman," Huth the two "o's" suggest brea In "Breathsts," the words "breath and breasts," are joined to indicate the analogy of the rise and fall of the breath and breasts. Breath is most necessary to survival even before food and water as are breasts symbolizing the fountain of life. This is the first edition of the book. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
