JCT 1, 1968
Scope and Contents
In this book, Diacono provides a parody of Stephan Mallarme's "Un Coup de Des." Diacono introduces the poem that he designates "a metrica n'aboolira with cartoons. He then cancells the 1914 layout with blue and orange colored rectangles to bring out its constructivistic presentation. Diacono's book predates the more famous cancelled text treatment by Marcel Broodthaers, a work also held by the Sackner Archive, that was published in 1969. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
