The title sequence is phrases to photographs taken by the author as if photographing the inside of dense phenomenal existence floating, which is intended to be just looking at vast space inhabited. The flatness and stillness of the crowds seen standing in water are reflected back in the written text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeslie Scalapino (1944–2010) was born in Santa Barbara, California and raised in Berkeley. She is the author of over thirty books of poetry, prose inter-genre fiction, plays, and essays.
