Scope and Contents

Jack Foley writes about language poetry, He states that in its movement away from speech and towards "writing as such," language poetry emphasizes the visual; writing is a visual art! However, it does not push visual into the realm of concrete or pattern poetry, which often cannot be spoken at all. "The words in language poetry CAN be spoken, even if speech is not the key to opening the poem. Concrete poetry is just one aspects of the 'experimental' with with language poetry does not concern itself." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Lens / Kuenstler, Frank., 1964

 Item
Identifier: CC-45934-48636
Scope and Contents Frank Kuenstler 1928-1996 a beat poet whose obituary was wrtten by Charles Bernstein: Poet and film maker Frank Kuenstler died on August 11, 1996. A short obituary appeared in The New York Times on August 31. "...Frank Kuenster's first book Lens. Lens's brilliantly iconoclastic and cosmic compression of syntax and lexicon ranks Kuenstler with such pioneers of Zaum (Khlebnikov's word for pervasively neologistic poetry) as Gillespie, Melnick, and Inman. LENS remains, for me, Kuenstler's great work. It is composed, basically, of two-word pairs joined by a period (though a period follows every word pair as well); though sometimes phrases stand in for single words. It is flush right, with hyphens noting split words. It runs 92 pages and is dated at the end: 1952-1964. Here is the opening of LENS: mm.Pris. metier.AAA. prime.Airies. numbers.Racquet. comma.Dei. rr.1919. peru.Ruse. glen.A. ggg.Ire. leapfrog.Mick. creme.Nail. game.Ble. flame- Bouyant. f.Rose. not.Ice. door.I. nigh.Eve....
