The Wonderful Writing Machine / Bliven, Bruce Jr., 1954

 Item
Identifier: CC-56764-10000139
Scope and Contents Kirkus Review: is the sturdy old typewriter, and this biography of a machine might just catch on. It's fun reading and conveys the vim and zest it imparts to our bustling economy and its inevitable facet, office life. It starts with a sparkling tribute to the girl secretary, as she led the invasion of the sacred portals, via the machine. Bliven has a facility in enlivening what might have been dull reportage of an invention that revolutionized communication at local level. Henry Mill of England worked on the idea in 1714; William Austin Burt of Michigan was the first American to pick it up, thought it just a byproduct but patented it in 1829. After an interim of fifty two dabblers in the invention came Sholes of Milwaukee, who put it on its keys. From then on- the histories and struggles of such household names as Remington, Underwood and Smith; of Mark Twain who thought the typewriter ""too curiosity breeding""; of the novel The Typewriter Girl whose doughty heroine proved she...

The Written and the Diagrammatic: Paintings and Drawings 1965 - 77, 1978

 Item
Identifier: CC-48512-69541
Scope and Contents

Smith states in an interview with Alan Bowness that his paintings "can be thought of as visual poetry, but they are not to be confused with concrete poetry. It is essential that my paintings are only visually understood. They are sound scores concerned with harmonies, discords and pauses...I seem now to be able to build up a visual written language that can deal with any experience of sensation. A written page can be remade in the same way that an artist remakes an object. WORDS BECOME OBJECTS." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Thing of Beauty edited by Anne Tardos / Mac Low, Jackson., 2008

 Item
Identifier: CC-62714-68526
Scope and Contents Cover blurbs: This landmark collection brings together poetry, performance pieces, "traditional" verse, prose poems, and other poetical texts from Jackson Mac Low's lifetime in art. The works span the years from 1937, beginning with "Thing of Beauty," his first poem, until his death in 2004 and demonstrate his extraordinary range as well as his unquenchable enthusiasm. Mac Low is widely acknowledged as one of the major figures in twentieth-century American poetry, with much of his work ranging into the spheres of music, dance, theater, performance, and the visual arts. Comparable in stature to such giants as Robert Creeley, John Ashbery, and Allen Ginsberg, Mac Low is often associated with composer John Cage, with whom he shared a delight in work derived from "chance operations." This volume, edited by Anne Tardos, his wife and frequent collaborator, offers a balanced arrangement of early, middle, and late work, designed to convey not just the range but also the progressions and...
