You really don't find these things interesting, Jim?  I don't expect 
others necessarily to find them more interesting than the poems 
published in those newspaper columns Poet Laureates are blessing us 
with, but I can understand how one with any interest in books or visual 
art would not find them interesting.  It's actually 3-D collage--but 
(for me) fascinatingly constrained by the limitations on what cut-up can 
be used and where it can be used.
