Field notes

The site frames the volume as three related forms: ten passages designed to be read aloud, twenty-five permissions, and thirty-nine poems. Its reader’s overview traces the permission section to George Brecht’s event scores and Yoko Ono’s Grapefruit, while noting that Moaya shifts instructions from command to allowance. The page also presents an “Open the book” preview with introduction, contents, and first-passage controls; the edition is described as a first hardbound printing of 100 copies.
