Schwartzburg provides a very intelligent analysis of Tom Phillips' "A Humument" in Chapter 3. She mentions the following. Stanford's single copy of 'A Human Document' "has lain motionless on the shelves for so long that it has no circulation history prior to three times it was checked out since 1997, when the latest edition of 'A Humument" was taught in a graduate seminar. Phillips' very recovery of Mallock's text demonstrates its loss, for it is only being read now as an extension of 'A Humument.. It is entirely dependent on 'A Humument' - not prior to it." Three major sections of Schwartburg's book deal with works held by the Sackner Archive, Tom Phillips' "A Humument," Susan Barron's unique book, "Twisting Silence," and Ian Hamilton Finlay's "Two Poems." A great deal of research for this thesis was done by Schwartzberg in the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Selected Organs: Parts of an Autobiography / Nichol, bp ; Kroetsch R., 1988
Selected Organs is a part of a larger autobiography entitled Organ Music. The basic idea of these prose pieces was to write an autobiography from a different direction concentrating on the parts of the body. All stories in this autobiography are true and told in a specific style borrowed from the oral story-telling methods of Nichol's grandmother. Nichol also drew the body part for each section. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Sharp Facts: Some Selections from Translating Translating Apollinaire 26 / Nichol, bp., 1980
Nichol demonstrates "copying machine disintegrative tendencies" by repeatedly putting the same text through four different photocopying machines. The text breaks down until it gradually disappears, so that "the machine is the message." The process is the same as that employed by Emmett Williams in a series of poems that are held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
