Visual Voices;Two Poems Accidentally Driven Together by Homolettristic Explosions in an Alphabetical Minefield; pages 58-59 / Weiss, Irving., 1994

 Item
Identifier: CC-56843-10000211
Scope and Contents

This poem is based upon Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503-1542), "Hate whom ye list." Barnabe Googe (1504-1594), "To Doctor Bale." The two poems, unaware of each other's presence, meet in an alphabetical minefield. In their collision they accidentally interconnect lines, becoming a monster of a single poem, at which the mines go off homolettristically, each mine blowing up its letter-likeness in an adjacent line of the monstrous poem. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
