Identifier: CC-54602-990050

Chris McCabe internet: "Under his unit4art imprint Antonio Claudio Carvalho has produced a first series of poetry broadsheets inspired by Hansjorg Mayer's futura series from the 1960s. When he asked me to be involved it was one of those rare moments when you find yourself being written into the impossible dream history that you knew you'd missed and would only ever be a voyeur of. These are as close to remaking the original seminal publications as possible." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Selected Poems, 1987

 Item
Identifier: CC-11338-11554

Peter Finch introduces his collected works by tracing those poets who influenced him. He writes that "concrete poetry does not use language for the recollection of emotion in tranquility but as the material of the poem itself." The book includes a poem, "Breath (after Philip Glass)," which repetitively utilizes the phrases, "the breath came and the breath went," as an incessant background rhythm for the main text in an analogous way that Philip Glass presents his music compositions. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
