[image description: The following poem appears in several parts over 4 pages, next to Black and white photos.

“Now happiest, loveliest in you lovely Earth, 
Whence sprang the ‘Idea of Beauty’ into birth 
She look’d into Infinity – and knelt. 
Rich clouds, for canopies, about her curled­ – 
Seen but in beauty – not impeding sight 
Of other beauty glittering thro’ the light – |
(Falling in wreaths thro’ many at startled star, 
Like woman’s hair ‘mid pearls.
until, afar, 
It lit on hills Achaian, and there dwelt), 
A wreath that twined each starry form around, 
And all the opal’d air in color bound.” 
— Edgar Allen Poe, Al Aaraaf (1829)]

[image description: Black and white photo of a white woman in her 20’s, visible from the top of her head down to the bottom of her breast. She is naked and holding one breast up with her hand, bending her head down to lick her nipple. She has multiple piercings in her ear, a septum ring, a chan from one nostril to one ear, and wears rings on several fingers. Her hair is long but shaved on one side, and she has bangs.]

[image description: Black and white photo of a white woman in her 20’s, laying on a sheet with her arms raised above her head. She is in view from the top of her chest to her raised hands. She wears black leather suspenders, two studded leather wristbands on one wrist, and a silver band on the other wrist, a chain from one nostril piercing to one ear, and a hat that has a tight band and a big, puffy top. Her bangs splay out from under the hat band, onto her forehead.]
[image description: A small fat white woman in her 20s, seen from chest to feet. She is naked, lying on her back on a bed with her legs spread wide, one leg lifted into the air and bent at the knee. Between her legs lies a tabby cat, and on the bed at her side is a human skull.]
[image description: A white woman in her 20s, seen from above, kneeling on a bed, head and forearms down on the bed, ass in the air.]

[image description: An oval, wooden-framed mirror hangs on a wall. In the reflection, a small fat white woman with long hair, seen from mid thigh to head, stands at the foot of a bed, facing the bed. Her arms are raised and her hands appear to be stroking the hair at the back of her head. Several framed pictures are on the wall beyond her.]
[image description: A small fat white woman in her 20s is seen standing, visible only from the bottom of her bush to her upper belly. Her hands rest on her belly, wrapped around the pooch of belly fat around her navel. She wears two studded leather wristbands on one wrist, a silver band on the other wrist, and rings on several fingers.]

[image description: A small fat white woman in her 20s is seen reclining, head tilted to one side, eyes soft and looking at the camera. Her arms rest beneath her breasts, on her belly. One hand is draped over the opposite wrist, while the other hand reaches down into her crotch, thumb resting on pubic mound, fingers resting on outer labia and upper thigh. She has a ring in one nipple, multiple facial piercings, wristbands and rings.]
