Scope and Contents
Listings on the pages are taken from the names, port registration letters, and code numbers of Olsen's Fisherman Nautical Almanack. The spelling of Olsen with an "e" rather than with an "o" as in the name of the American poet is deliberate. Olson drew much of his poetic material from Boston fisheries. Images in this book on pages facing the listings are photographs of fishing boats. According to Finlay (flyer), this juxtaposition is a "found collage" in the style of Schwitters. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
