D S H (Dom Sylvester Houédard), 1924-1992

Although known as a concrete poet, critic, translator, and artist in the art and poetry worlds, Houedard was also well versed in religious thoughts and traditions. Educated in the Christian monastic and contemplative traditions, Dom Sylvester had a deep knowledge of many forms of belief, which he saw as different expressions of a single wisdom. A pioneer of the wider ecumenism, he had active contacts with Tibetan Buddhism and the work of the great Islamic mystic Muhyddin Ibn' Arabi. In these talks given near the end of his life, Dom Sylvester illuminates the meanings embedded in six of Eckhart's greatest sermons. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Robert Shepard wrote the obituary in The Guardian October 7, 2002. "Bob Cobbing, who has died aged 82, was the major exponent of concrete, visual and sound poetry in Britain. Long after its international heyday in the 1960s, he continued to produce visual texts that were also scores for performance, many of them published as booklets by his Writers' Forum press, and launched at its associated workshop, which has been meeting in private houses and rooms above pubs since 1954. His work appears in many anthologies. Born in Enfield, Cobbing was brought up within that close religious...
