The critical text on the loose sheet by Augusto De Campos compares cummings' poetry to Mallarme's Un Coup de Des. De Campos notes that in contrast to lettrisme, in cummings' poetry the words are not dissociated from the meaning nor are letters valid by themselves. De Campos believes that the word expressionism (typographical gesturing) and disfigurement of the discursive in cummings' poetry find their best visual arts equivalent in the works of Paul Klee. This is the second edition, the first edition was published in 1960. Stored in Augusto de Campos box. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents In this Archive, Finlay indicates that this booklet is a collection of 'one-word poems' about boats. The boats are illustrated, as types, in silhouette-form, and the words are to be thought of as being a kind of 'verbal silhouette' or boat-epigram. He explains the reasons for selection of the boat types into the booklet and states that "the idea will be to keep the printed text the same size - as it were - as the illustrations, so that the text can be thought of as kind of a 'verbal' silhouette." These instructions are provided to Laurie Clark for the illustrations and to Michael Harvey for the text layout.

Description of book from the inside dust jacket: "Liselotte Gumpel brings to her interpretation of these two strains of poetry a solid grounding in language and cultural history as well as fresh and unbiased perceptions about the poems themselves. She offers historical background, draws connections with literary concretism's antecedents in visual arts and music, and usefully applies the semiotics of Max Bense and C.S.Peirce in her descriptions of the "dicentic genres" of the East and the "rhematic connexes" of the West. Under the rubrics of teleological humanism and creative zest she explores the shaping traditions of the two movements. A chapter on significant anthologies from East and West Germany concludes her survey." The dust jacket depicts a mandala by Kriwet that Gumpel characterizes as a "Round Disc." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
