RED is blood, passion, life. Squeezed repeated circles & eggs imply renewal; some have the illusion of holes, as if we look back or into the future. The muse hides as time flies. Calligraphic marks, the living line, become unknown beings, are language. Bold letters turn into objects in the underwater & sky atmosphere; part words are strong entities near layered part circles. Asides abide. Half of the visual poem suddenly overlaps its other capsized half. The reader is enticed to turn the page and read on. Upside down reading excites & irritates the reading process; read in one direction, turn, now differently reread a beginning, middle and a starting again.
—Marilyn R. Rosenberg
