curry writes that Underwhich Editions began in 1978 as a consortium of publishers and poets gathered to publish the catalog for the 11th International Festival of Sound Poetry held in Toronto 1978. The group comprised Dean, Nichol, McCaffery, Truhlar Riddel, S. Smith, Dedora, & Dutton. Their first publication edited by McCaffery & Nichol was "Sound Poetry A Catologue," released in time for the festival. The audiographic series began in 1979 with seven titles emphasizing sound poetry up until 1983. Through the influence of Truhlar, music was introduced into the listings after 1983. curry provides an annotated bibliography of the recordings that were published as well as a three tape cassette bp Nichol recording of The Martyrology Books I-IV that was never published. This archive contains two similar versions of an introductory essay, one entitled "Cultural Clutter: The Needle, The Works," the other, "Needling Theehead with a Laser: Inder Which Works." -- Source of...

Carnival: The First Panel 1967-1970 / McCaffery, Steve., 1973
Item
Identifier: CC-38154-40048
Scope and Contents
The card is an instruction sheet for assembling the panel from pages in the book; the loose sheet is an errata sheet.In the introduction to Carnival Panel Two, McCaffery comments on Panel One. "Carnival is planned as a multi-panel language environment, constructed largely on the typewriter and designed ultimately to put the reader, as perceptual participant, within the center of his language.The roots of Carnival go beyond concretism (specifically that particular branch of concrete poetry termed the `typestract' or abstract typewriter art) to labyrinth and mandala, and all related archetypal forms that emphasize the use of the visual qualities in language to defend a sacred centre. Pond's vorticism also forms part of the grid of influences, and on one level at least, Carnival can be seen as an attempt to abstract, concretize and expand Pound's concept of the image as the circular pull of an intellectual and emotional energy. Above all it is a structure of strategic...

Carnival: The Second Panel 1970-1975 / McCaffery, Steve ; Pound E., 1975
Item
Identifier: CC-38155-40049
Scope and Contents
In the introduction to this book, McCaffery comments as follows. "Panel Two is largely an expression of language emerging into conflict and internecine statement conveyed in the variety of mechanical means of expression that's employed. It was predicated on a felt implication in Saussure's assertion that language is differential and oppositive at its base. Having discovered, explored and tested the parameters of the typewriter in Panel One, Panel Two places the typed mode in agonistic relation with other forms of scription: xerography, xerography within xerography (i.e. metaxerography and disintegrative seriality), electrostasis, rubber-stamp, tissue texts, hand-lettering and stencil. The compositional problem was in finding a form large enough to accommodate these conflicts and what arose as a solution was the interlocking single page to form a sixteen unit panel with the offset book format (to be abandoned in the process of assembling the panel) constituting the final stage in...
