A second book dealing mostly with conventional poems with a few typed concrete poems in 150 copies entitled "Magadejen" was released in 1962 [copy also held by the Sackner Archive]. From 1962 to the 1970s, he contributed typed concrete poems to small press, avant garde periodicals. Representive poems of this period have been scanned and are included in this record. The original of one of these poems "Lover" is held by the Sackner Archive. Beginning in 1973, Van Essche introduced numbers and punctuation marks into his "typed artpoe" and also turned his artistic activities to dense calligraphic and hieroglyphic drawings. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
