 Item
Identifier: CC-34984-36703
Scope and Contents

According to his widow, Stubbing composed concrete poems in the late forties and early fifties both in English and Spanish. However, he is best known for his palm print abstract paintings. He might have became influenced in concrete poetry by Mathias Goeritz with whom he knew in the School of Altamura, Spain in 1949-1950. However, Goeritz's concrete poetry was published over a decade later from the Spanish experience. An original concrete poetic collage and typing "Poema Vociferado" c.1949 is held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Rhapsodomancy / Eckhoff, Kevin Mepherson., 2010

 Item
Identifier: CC-51342-72431
Scope and Contents

In Rhapsodomancy, Eckhoff remembers Pitman Shorthand and Unifon, a 40 character phonetic alphabet. "Using these two phonic alphabets as image, his poems tease out a relationship between voice and words and visual poetry." According to Geof Huth, "His is a visual poetry at the edge of the textual and fully visual, resplendant with fragmentary bits of language and formal games filled with humor...We learn from this book that play is the deepest form of learning." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
