Please navigate to collection organization to place requests.
Scope and Contents
Each of the six poems uses a single line (e.g., I am the resurrection and the life, and Il faut etre absolument moderne). A varying number of letters in different positions in the line are eliminated to create a spatial, incomprehensible, letter picture-like appearance. The complete line is printed at the bottom of the poem. Morgen calls the texts "emergent poems" and notes that they are taken from St. John, Burns, Brecht, Rimbaud, Dante, and the Communist Manifesto. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
