Kyle Schlesinger said in the article “A Look At Some Contemporary Poetry Broadsides” that total immersion could be characterized by “the identity of the author, artist, printer and designer not being always clear”.  In this case, “Knowing the Limits of the Earth” written by De’Lana R. A. Dameron can easily be considered a form of total immersion.  The method of printing is speculative however I think I can assume there is a mixture of different methods involved.  The broadside appears to be printed by letterpress,  printer, and possibly a human hand.  Although the overall shape and placement of the words and letters on the page are not quite as radical as a lot of broadsides containing total immersion, I believe it still is because of a few reasons.  First of all, the display type is relatively small because there are no gigantic letters and secondly I find it interesting because the way the yellow figure doesn’t fill up the full broadside (leaving space on the top and bottom) gives it a more improper look(also showcasing overlap and layering).  Also notice how the title of the poem is left almost dripping down the left side of the page to give it a different feel.  A lot of things are quite normal on the broadside like the letter-spacing, kern line, and base line.  One of the larger things that stood out to me on this broadside was the drawing of a skeleton of a peach in the yellow background.  I was trying to think of the meaning of this and I thought maybe it had to something to do with the title of the poem. “Knowing the limits of the Earth” is the title possibly giving some shade to the anti-environmentalist and maybe the dying peach has some resemblance of a dying earth.  That is my interpretation of it however.
