Right Left / Steen, Vagn., 1969
In a personal communication to the Sackners from Steen, he wrote the following. Steen wrote the words "right left' once, then he made left more left by spelling left backwards, e.g. tfel, written upright, and then turns it more to the left, in fact by writing it normally and mirroring it. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
Rob the Plagiarist / Fitterman, Robert., 2009
In his acknowledgement Fitterman writes, "This collection houses several of my texts that were written since 2000 and that have appeared in literary journals and chapbooks. Taken together, the sum of these pieces reflects my continued interest in a poetics of plagiarism.So, finally, this house may be your house.. Most of the writing here is part essay, part poetry, part libretto, part conceptual writing, and nearly all borrowed." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Simulated Letters to Mallarme / Cooper, Bernard ; Mallarme S., 1973
Cooper prints a brief paragraph in the center of a page about notions dealing with the alphabet, words, punctuations, and phonemes on the center of the left side of the page in a calligraphic typeface. For example, "Words led back to their origins, which is the twenty-six letters of the alphabet, so gifted with infinity that they will finally consecrate language. Everything is caught up in their endless variations and then rises out of them in the form of principle. Thus typography becomes a rite." This same paragraph is printed on the facing right side page but in a bolder typeface and with irregular spacing between the lines of the text. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
