A large collection of poems written over the course of six months, under a code of rules predetermined by the artist. "The structural techniques used in Mac Low's stanzaic-acrostic poems are both random and systematic. The linguistic units used in these structures vary in size from sentences to single words or even syllables. The words, phrases and other units are drawn from such widely different sources as newspapers, magazines, scientific treatises, and works on Vedanta and Buddhism" -- from publisher's statement. on end-flap of book.
