Written around the poet's fiftieth birthday, the collection is partly about writing itself. Plain records of everyday scenes in the American Objectivist manner stand beside pieces led by the Czech surrealists, and the poet openly shows his debts, one meaning of the title; the other is the non-writing hand that each poet also has. The short, dense poems use simple means to leave the reader slightly off balance and ask questions rather than answer them.
