Further information:
"A vivid dream of passage narrated by experimental composer Pauline Oliveros and realized through the exploratory photographs of Becky Cohen. The book carries us deeply and graphically in the world of ritual and meditation that is integral to Oliveros' life and work." (cover note)
"After I gave her the text, she [Becky] disappeared for a while and then invited me to see the drawings she had made. Her drawings of the dream sequence were startlingly like my dream with no prompting except the text. Shae had analyzed the dream text for specific photographs and planned a book design. Next she wanted to begin photographing as literally as possible the scenes she had selected." Pauline Oliveros
