The Standard Corpus of Present Day English Language Usage arranged by word length and alphabetized within word length 2nd Ed / Ferguson, Gerald., 1978
Item
Identifier: CC-43065-45112
Scope and Contents
This book was first published in 1970 and consists of the Brown University Million Word Corpus arranged by word length using selected subjects to give 50,000 words. These words, each page with the same word length, were typed onto stencils by Ferguson and constitute this book. The repetitive typing of a single letter of the alphabet is reminiscent of Nannucci's typings. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents
Publisher's Weekly reported the following. Conceptual artist, University of Pennsylvania instructor and WFMU radio host, Goldsmith has earned a great deal of attention for previous projects, among them Fidget (a real-time record of every motion he made in one day) and No. 111 2.7.93-10.20.96 (a gorgeous 600-page cull of words ending in "r"). This elegant new volume continues his adventures in "extreme transcription": it consists entirely of radio weather forecasts, written down every day in the course of a year (2002--2003) and set as a book with no (or minimal) changes. Even the forecasters' hesitations and stutters show up in Goldsmith's text: "And what we have here tonight is, uh, brisk conditions under partly to mostly cloudy skies, uh, relatively mild, uh, temperatures, uh, staying above freezing all across the region tonight"; "well, we're continuing to watch snow sloat... spread slowly northward, uh, through New Jersey, uh, snowing around Trenton and, eh, Princeton...."...

Identifier: CC-47288-50031
Scope and Contents
In this book, Ball indicates the following. "The smallest unit in this poem-sequence is a three-letter combination or "word" employing a central vowel and two different consonants. There are five words per line incorporating each of the five vowels. All the words in a section begin with the same consonant. There are 21 sections. All the words in a given line end with the same consonant. Each section has 20 lines because the consonant that begins each word in a section is not repeated at the ends of words within that section.The words in this poem are meant to be read aloud, line by line. Pronunciation is left to the reader. Readers will find various words and lines induce surprise or laughter because of the sounds involved and because of meanings and suggested meanings.While one reads, one may become uncertain about which words are in dictionaries or in use and which are not. Some words and non-words will sound like real words that have other spellings. Many non-words look and...

Time Trap: With an Introduction: Open Structure for a Philosophical Experiment , 1980
Item — Box 323: [Barcode: 31858072490893]
Identifier: CC-20852-21261
Scope and Contents
Peter H Barnett: Time Trap (Assembling Press, 1980) is composed of twelve 8 1/2" by 12" sheets folded and stapled in booklet form. A loop of thread connects the midpoint of each page. The work explores various dimensions of the book form through four series of diagrams accompanied by texts and instructions. These graphic-textual progressions migrate over the outer margin of adjacent pages, through the gutter on the inside of a folded sheet, through the gutter on the outside of a folded sheet, or across the gutter from one page to the next. Three of the graphic progressions are v-forms which narrow and elongate as they migrate. The fourth is a string of numbers 1-12. The texts associated with each progression express attitudes of waiting, disorientation and entrapment. The four progressions are all there at once, but never meet: only one progression can be pursued by the interactive reader at a time, hence the title. The accompanying introduction, "Open Structure for a...
