Scope and Contents

The Sackner Archive lent several works of the three artist-poets to the exhibition including Cleveland Prints, The North American Book of the Dead, Scarab Poems by d.a. levy; The Journal of Albion Moonlight, Cloth of the Tempest, Sleepers Awake by Kenneth Patchen; 18th Dynasty Egyptian Turnon by D.r. Wagner. Although there was no check list with the catalogue, the superb installation photographs of the books and prints in cases more than make up for this oversight. The suite of collages entitled Zen Concrete on display at this exhibition were purchased by the Sackners from Ingrid Swanberg in 2008. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
