The Georgous Nothings / Dickinson, Emily ; Werner M ; Bervin J ; Clay S ; Howe S., 2013

 Item
Identifier: CC-59715-10002773
Scope and Contents Amazon.com: These pieces are highly condensed art, thought in motion, playful, provocative, engaging, rich. The photo reproductions let you see not only how Dickinson adapted to the spaces of these texts but how she did so intentionally. This is concrete poetry avant la lettre, wonderful, powerful, meditative, and profound. This is a gorgeous book and well worth your attention. The people who put it together have superb editorial and artistic sensibility, and the book takes one so close to Dickinson's modes of thinking and composition that it practically brings shivers. Having spent some time in archives, seeing some of the sketchings of words and images on cards and all sorts of paper, of Charles Olson and David Jones, I think there is something quite opening (to the mind and sensibilities) about such encounters. I have perhaps some slight qualms about then putting them into books, as it's not the same thing, i.e. it makes something a little more formal and distanced out of the...

Identifier: CC-30991-32450
Scope and Contents In introductory essays, Fox critiques the work of each poet included in this anthology and also writes a summarizing appendix. He reprints a statement from John M. Bennett about his poem BLENDER published in GHOST DANCE No.38, 1983. In an inquiry directed to explaining the poem BLENDER, Bennett responded. In general about my work I would say that it differs basically from mainstream American poetries in that it doesn't attempt to provide recipes for life or to conclude with "correct" moral postures, or to be in any other way didactic. My writing wants to be a life; complete and full of it all, a symbolic representation of the universe as perceived through my experience, my consciousness, and my writing itself.... BLENDER specifically seems to represent a transition phase between two styles of mine-from a kind of surrealist narrative toward an anaphoric style (one where the poems were structured around repetitions of key nouns or verbs in each phrase, or repetitions of short...

The Independent Group: Modernism and mass culture in Britain, 1945-59 / Massey, Anne ; Duchamp M ; Ernst M ; Paolozzi E ; Reichardt J ; Cordell M ; Denny R ; Hamilton R ; McHale J., 1995

 Item
Identifier: CC-32177-33727
Scope and Contents

The Independent Group was a loose collection of artists, designers and writers whose careers were impaired by war, who were bound together in their discussion, exhibitions and published writing by an admiration for continental modernism. At first linked to the European modernism of the ICA in London, the Group proposed a new, fresh approach to cultural analysis and extended the boundaries of their discussions and work in art and design to new technology and liberal American modernism. They were influential in bringing about the erosion of the high/low culture divide by celebrating popular culture and mass produced consumer goods. The author analyzes key exhibitions by the Group that helped popularize their ideas. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The players were members of the Semina group of writers. Hannah Weiner's play "RJ (Romeo & Juliet) (1966) employs one to three letter combinations of non-words adjacent to the character designations based upon a 19th century code "The International Code of Signals for the Use of All Nations." These provide directions for performance. Bruce Andrews Song No.3 (1973) is a listing of phrases with directions without character designations.Amazon.com. Caroline Bergvall: Each play included here is a gauge of the contributions, some light-hearted, some light-headed, some gestural, some structural, that a great many influential American poets have made in the shadow of experimental theatre s heydays. The editors are themselves no strangers to the guilty...
