The mimeographed typescript bears a handwritten note at the bottom of the page from "Pearl" to an unidentified individual, but possibly Donald Justice, since this item was laid in a book from his library. Pearl was Stephen Dobyns's classmate in a poetry class taught by American poet Marvin Bell at the Iowa Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa in the spring of 1967. The note explains that this particular poem was written by Dobyns for that class.
