According to his editor, Warhol originally wanted the text to run unbroken by paragraphs or speaker identification but had to compromise with the forces of coherence. Had Warhol refused to give in, perhaps a would have succeeded in doing what his soup cans and boring film epics do so well-dull the mind into new awareness...
Nolan's cover is an overture for the book. Its color is old-moss green, the green of stale water. The page is divided by an unbroken sea-horizon. Running the edge of the even ocean is the boat of the poems -- "our soul...a three master seeking port." An old-fashioned wire grave fence spans the dark sky.

It also knifed 180° turns as though the ice were butter. Running at speeds from 21 to 31 knots, the tug accelerated easily in thinner ice because there was no friction along the sides of the barge - the Alexbow had thrown all the troublesome chunks clear...
