The dedication reads, "to Marvin Sackner - The Ruth and Marvin Sackner Archive of Concrete and Visual Poetry MIAMI USA - whose colossal collection, stockpiled over many obsessive years guarantees that this form of poetry beloved of many dedicated exponents world-wide will in all good time become visible." The first page provides Claire's definition of concrete poetry repeated 4 1/2 times on the page. Each subsequent page was created by overprinting through altering the position of the page in the ink jet printer. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

These prints are based upon a typing done in 1993 which were photocopied onto a transparent sheet of paper and then laid over the original in five different ways creating five works "with dense patterns and moire effects." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
