This section of Open Leaves — published by London's Black Sunflowers Poetry Press — includes "two epigraphs, a prose-poem paragraph, a mixed media artwork titled Silent Talks by Tiffanie Delune, and a sequence of three-line poems across four pages of four poems each." In his program notes at Jacket2 Filreis also notes that "Since PennSound’s Harryette Mullen author page did not yet include a recording of Harryette performing poems from Open Leaves, we asked her to read 'Chasing Dirt' at the start of the recorded session."
