"In October of 1964, Lorine Niedecker assembled a book of thirty poems inscribed into the pages of a dime-store sketch pad, whose front and back she had covered in wrapping paper. She carefully handwrote the pieces in blue-inked cursive, placing each one on its own unnumbered sheet of paper. By turns, the small poems in this self-publication move through a sprawling array of modes. Niedecker makes room here for—to name only the several categories that spring to mind—deft, vivid details drawn from daily life; excerpts of intimate colloquial speech; sober evocations of global violence; abstracted sound mosaics; spare ‘portraits’ of historical figures; and found poems pulled from friends’ letters." – from John Harkey's Usable Dimensions: An Afterword.
