Brambu Drezi: Book Two / Berry, Jake ; Arguelles I ; Leftwich J., 1998

 Item
Identifier: CC-30970-32428
Scope and Contents Ivan Arguelles provided an introductory essay and Jim Leftwich an interview of Jake Berry dealing with the interpretation of this second in a series of epic poems. Both the manuscript of this poem and its first part are held by the Sackner Archive.Jack Foley on Alsop Review web site provided the following review: From virtually all perspective, early Greek philosopher to twentieth-century specialist, there is agreement that artistic creativity and inspiration involve, indeed require, a dipping into rational or irrational sources while maintaining ongoing contact with reality and "life at the surface." The degree to which individuals can, or desire to, "summon up the depths" is among the more fascinating individual differences. Many highly creative and accomplished writers, composers, and artists function essentially within the rational world, without losing access to their psychic "underground." Others, the subject of this book, are likewise privy to their unconscious streams of...

Carnival: The Second Panel 1970-1975 / McCaffery, Steve ; Pound E., 1975

 Item
Identifier: CC-38155-40049
Scope and Contents In the introduction to this book, McCaffery comments as follows. "Panel Two is largely an expression of language emerging into conflict and internecine statement conveyed in the variety of mechanical means of expression that's employed. It was predicated on a felt implication in Saussure's assertion that language is differential and oppositive at its base. Having discovered, explored and tested the parameters of the typewriter in Panel One, Panel Two places the typed mode in agonistic relation with other forms of scription: xerography, xerography within xerography (i.e. metaxerography and disintegrative seriality), electrostasis, rubber-stamp, tissue texts, hand-lettering and stencil. The compositional problem was in finding a form large enough to accommodate these conflicts and what arose as a solution was the interlocking single page to form a sixteen unit panel with the offset book format (to be abandoned in the process of assembling the panel) constituting the final stage in...

Chamber Music / Cobbing, Bob., 1966

 Item
Identifier: CC-17589-17955
Scope and Contents

Although Cobbing is not generally thought of as producing language poetry, the clusters of seemingly meaningless words and unrelated phrases could place this book into such a category. It is of interest that Cobbing had later collaborations with Bruce Andrews, a recognized language poet. The work might also have originated from the cut-up technique but handwritten notes (Notes for (from) Chamber Music), held by the Sackner Archive suggest the former expalanation. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
