Scope and Contents

Williams writes in his forward, "The fables - on the right-hand pages of the book - came first. Only gradually, after several exhibitions of these far-fetched fictions, did I come to realize that there was at least an iota, a jot or a tittle of truth - and sometimes a big blob of reality - in each and everyone one of them. And here, for the first time, the documentation appears opposite the collages themselves...on the left hand pages, opposite each of the cartoons, are enlightening documents from the author's personal archive relating some of the unlikely things that really happened in Performance Art 'show biz' over the years." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Jerome Rothenberg contributes a pre-face in which he writes that "Footnotes, presented here, is the accounting of where Alison Knowles' feet (and hands and mind) have taken her." The pages of this book are reproductions of notebook pages dating from 1975 to 1995, inscribed and collaged by Knowles. As Knowles herself stated, "It is important to remember that we are free to make art and poetry out of anything: A loaf of bread, some beans, a hasty jotting on the train." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
