Scope and Contents

The large P in the heading to Peter is typed with slashes and dashes. Houedard has requested mention of OULIPO to be included in Peter's Mayer's book with Bob Cobbing, 'Concerning Concrete Poetry.'. He states that his files and things have arrived from the old abbey and he is putting them in order. He also makes suggestions to study the medieval manuscripts for shaped forms and "also the covers of the new encyclopaedia iudaica has a very well done tree with hebrew alphabet leaves...the psychology of inventing pseudo hebrew & pseudo greek might be looked into." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
