Webster states that the four main poets discussed in this book, that was originally a doctural thesis, were not influenced by Mallarme's Un Coup de Des. In the case of Marinetti, he points out the structural typographic differences and similarities between Un Coup de Des and Parole In Liberta. Webster uses the term, visual poetry, as synonymous with concrete poetry. An appendix depicts several poems descibed in the book. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Identifier: CC-51198-72286
Scope and Contents Colin Fulcher aka Barney Bubbles (30 July 1942 - 14 November 1983 death by suicide) was a radical English graphic artist, whose work primarily encompassed the disciplines of graphic design, painting and music video direction. He is most renowned for his distinctive contribution to the graphic design associated with the British independent music scene during the 1970s and early 1980s. His symbol-laden and riddle-laden record sleeves were his most visible output.Hellorinis "Hellorinis" Amazon.com writes: "I was not at all familiar with Barney Bubbles the designer. I knew some of the images by Bubbles but the story and the context of his work is incredibly interesting. I was not prepared for the superb quality of both the book's design and the quality of scholarship and research put into it. This is a hardcover book with lots of text combined with images, and filled with stories from those who were part of the various scenes Barney had participated in. Printed in excellent paper....

 Item
Identifier: CC-40966-42945
Scope and Contents Meltzer, a poet who's maintained the edge he sharpened fighting conformity back in the heady days of the Beats, carries the battle forward in this engrossing volume of in-depth interviews with such fellow travelers as Gary Snyder and Philip Whalen, who have thrived over the decades and become tremendously influential poets andspiritual leaders. The true legacy of the Beat era was the entwining of art with social awareness and spiritual quests, and the resonance from this brief but indelible revolution is felt in both Meltzer's vintage and recent interviews. His 1969 encounters with the late great poets William Everson, Kenneth Rexroth, and Lew Welch capture the intensity and probity of that inspired time and are invaluable works of oral history, as are the striking juxtapositions between Meltzer's past and present discussions with the still radical and thrilling Lawrence Ferlinghetti Jack Hirschman, and Michael McClure. Eloquent and knowledgeable, these poets and others, including...

Saul Steinberg: A Biography / Bair, Deirdre., 2012

 Item
Identifier: CC-56554-9999958
Scope and Contents This book is stored with other Steinberg books.Amazon.com review. My initial familiarity with Steinberg started with the purchase of a framed copy of "that poster" (View of the World from 9th Avenue) soon after he created it in 1976. Steinberg was known as "a writer who draws" and most of his pieces require extensive study to comprehend them fully. Perhaps 15 years later I became enamored with The New Yorker magazine and began to learn of its storied history. I've been a faithful subscriber and have absorbed several books ("About Town" by Ben Yagoda and personal reminiscences by staff members Brendan Gill, Lillian Ross, James Thurber and Renata Adler). Steinberg makes cameo appearances in all of those works - and for good reason. Steinberg designed 89 New Yorker covers over a six-decade span, earning Adam Gopnik's tribute that he was the greatest artist ever associated with the magazine, one known almost as much for its pictures as its prose.But as you would expect, Deirdre Bair's...
