These pieces were downloaded from Daniel's website, The Gates of Paradise. Daniels combines a brief biography of Marvin Sackner (where did he get all this information?) with Sackner's interests in poetic art and work in medical science in a multi-colored shaped poem of the lungs.

Daniels titled the pages, "Rose Vapored Dawn Air,"Light Breathing Day Air," Violet Swallowed Dusk Air" and "Shadow Swollen Night Air." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
