Scope and Contents

This work was purchased from Eugen Gomringer who probably intended to publish it in his poesia konkreta series. It is not reproduced in Patterson's "Black and White File" (also held by the Sackner Archive) that records all his works from 1958-1998. The English text was translated into German presumably under the direction of Gomringer as a typing also held by the Sackner Archive along with three small ink diagrammatic drawings that differ from the one drawn on the verso of this work. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
