4 Unpublished Poems / Cobbing, Bob., 1976
Collected Poems Volume One: Cygnet Ring / Cobbing, Bob., 1977
This book includes poems of cut-ups begun in 1956. The method was to decide on the number of lines, clip out newspaper lines of the required number, and paste them up in an effective order to give an appearance of a conventional poem. This work antedates Gysin's 1959 cut-ups, usually attributed as the first to employ it. This book also includes cut-ups of earlier cut-ups, and permutations or mutations based on newspaper headlines but originating from phrases clipped from books. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
