Scope and Contents
This collection of Acconci's poems is edited by Craig Dworkin who contributed an introduction titled "Delay in Verse." He writes that reframing text from the New York Times and the New York City weather report respectively, Goldsmith's books 'Day' and 'The Weather' were written with complete lack of knowledge of Acconci's own newspaper and weather forecast poems from thirty-five years earlier, despite the striking and uncanny resemblance of those subsequent precedents. The books by Goldsmith are held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
