futura: Programmed Squares 11. No.24 / Peter Schmidt., 1968

 Item
Identifier: CC-27479-28527
Scope and Contents

Schmidt writes, "On the overall square of this print each of the four units used has its own corners. Each unit is most dense in its own corner and the probability of its appearance decreases with the distance from that corner...The print was realized in 1967 using an arithmetical programme which approximates to the idea and hand set in 10 pt letterpress border material. The shuffling of the units within the subsections used was done manually and is imperfect." The units consist of small rectangles which are solid black, have a heavy outline, have a light outline, and blank spaces. The only copies of this issue are in futura sammelband. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Gematria / Rothenberg, Jerome., 1994

 Item
Identifier: CC-03709-3780
Scope and Contents

In his book, "Post/Face," Rothenberg writes that gematria is a form of traditional Jewish numerology using "the fact that every letter of the Hebrew alphabet is also a number, & that words or phrases, the sums of whose letters are equal are at some level meaningfully connected." These coincidences serve as an entry for Rothenberg into the kinds of correspondences or constellations that have been central to modernist & post-modernist poetry experiments over the last century & a half. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
