Afternoon Poem, 1968 by Etel Adnan:

This is another work from the Spring issue of Bomb–yes, I’m blah, again.  I grabbed the above, which is about the size it is where I got it, because of the colors (which are a bit better, I think, as published in Bomb)–and something else I couldn’t define.  One thought: that it might well be a work that looks nice when not seen close up, but when my scan enlarged it, I found it was even better.  A genuine visual poem of the Kenneth Patchen variety.  Different from but still reminding me of Marilyn R. Rosenberg’s A-1 book art.   Its accordianation is a big plus: text out of colors in&out over white into more color instead of just text from colors across white into other colors.  Perfectly-placed, perfect eye.
