Poem in homage to the homeless advocate, Mitch Snyder, who had recently committed suicide, and the sweep of the homeless from Civic Center in San Francisco. As Hirschman states, this is an ongoing struggle, i.e., a half-mast flag hangs at City Hall (ironically and hypocritically) and thus his symbolic allusion at the poem's ending. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Jackman writes at the bottom of the box, "From the old, rare, curious one of a kind foreign unfit to read, non archival book collection." Seven varying shaped collage assemblages are stacked in the richly collaged box which has a lid with a handle made from a carved and embellished pencil.

This is an account of a complex visual/verbal painting, The Man of Sorrows (by Coleman after Bosch), that is his revelation of the hidden truths about Jesus Christ based upon Apocrypha, stories about Christ striken from New Testament because they clashed with view of Jesus that the church wished to perpetuate as well as Pagan and Jewish anti-Christian writings available soon after Jesus' death. Tipped full- color fragments of the painting are explained by Coleman in a printed calligraphic text. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The pages of the book are tabbed with the alphabet as in an address book. The text is printed on tan paper that gives an antique appearance. The images on the pages consist of photographs of an apartment building on the upper left and lower right of the facing pages and a walking man wearing a raincoat. The typographically varing text describes the building and the man. A text printed vertically on the verso of the alphabetical tabs reads, "The views afforded by evenly spaced windows, now indiscrete, may seem a film, and the street, its tireless projector." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
