John Furnival and dom Silvester Houedard, the editors define this venture as follows. "typography - openings are constituted by poet/ typographer/ artist - openings are active poetry - openings make everybody make poetry - poetry means making poesis - a typographer thinks that the poem is the first of of the first things first." graphics - we aim to produce a series which is not a complete integration of graphics and text, i.e. not an illustrated poem or a captioned drawing but a picture/poem - in fact, we always start out with, and work from, the poem - the difficulty lies in maintaining the balance between text and drawing." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

On the verso of this pamphlet, Furnival writes, "Rough proof of propectus for OPENINGS PRESS, founded in 1964 by John Furnival + dom Silvester Houedard." They define this venture as follows. "typography - openings are constituted by poet/ typographer/ artist - openings are active poetry - openings make everybody make poetry - poetry means making poesis - a typographer thinks that the poem is the first of of the first things first." graphics - we aim to produce a series which is not a complete integration of graphics and text, i.e. not an illustrated poem or a captioned drawing but a picture/poem - in fact, we always start out with, and work from, the poem - the difficulty lies in maintaining the balance between text and drawing." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
