Chamber Music / Cobbing, Bob., 1966

 Item
Identifier: CC-17589-17955

Scope and Contents

Although Cobbing is not generally thought of as producing language poetry, the clusters of seemingly meaningless words and unrelated phrases could place this book into such a category. It is of interest that Cobbing had later collaborations with Bruce Andrews, a recognized language poet. The work might also have originated from the cut-up technique but handwritten notes (Notes for (from) Chamber Music), held by the Sackner Archive suggest the former expalanation. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
