Kostelanetz defines 'Text-sound' to mean "language unspecific in pitch, which coheres in terms of sound, rather than syntex or semantics." This book consists of scores, manifestos, self-interviews, scripts, performance instructions, critical essays, and theoretical remarks. In Walter Abish's three page story, "Auctioning Australia," all the words begin with the letter 'a.' Kenneth King's "Word Raid" consists of seven pages of tongue twisters. The dust jacket depicts a sound poem by Bliem Kern. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Bayard dedicated the book, which developed from her doctoral thesis, to Ruth and Marvin Sackner. In the acknowledgments she states, "I would like to express my gratitude ...especially to Marvin Sackner for generously granting me unlimited access to his marvellous collection of concrete and post-modern artefacts. Without such direct, visual, and hands-on contact with concrete and deconstructed items, I would have known them only abstractly."Bayard's book is heavily oriented to criticism and theory of concrete poetry with particular attention to the work of bp Nichol. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
