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.
