In our book, the conventional alphabetized sequence of noun subjects with their attributes versified is stood on its head: it is the sonic attributes of the subjects that constitute the alphabetic sequence. (Dimensions 3.75" x 4.75") Click to enlarge images.

This is my previous MIMB 2 book, PINK, which began as a quick glance at a dictionary which led to a list of definitions and historical references— (some archaic) that included pink, and eventually blossomed into a series of ryhmed couplets on pretty papers in an unconventional and intentionally feminine triangular format.
