In their introductory essay, "A Fair Field Full of Folk," the editors write about Bob Cobbing as follows: "Cobbing, a resourceful and tireless arts and workshop organizer and publisher, established his radical press Writers Forum in 1954, in 1963 putting its output on a more established and consistent footing, producing cheap mimeographed pamphlets of experimental writing and concrete poetry with great persistence. In his own work he was developing the fusion of visual and aural performance elements that make him a consistent force within British poetry. His re-defining of the nature of the 'text' - as shown by work in this anthology - remains extreme and radical today." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The two pamphlets are duplicates. The soft cover book includes Chopin's comments about each issue, Chopin's autobiography, and statements from other artists/poets about his sound poems. Tom Phillips' work is the score of the opera "Irma." One of the compact discs includes recordings of his phonetic poems, "Kansas City Numero Collage."
