The letterhead is Monks Pond. Merton writes Emmett Williams that "All the things you are making happen sound good. Or helping make happen. Yes, visual poetry. I'd like to see that exhibit in Minneapolis. When will it be?" He continues, "I'm starting on some visual stuff. Hasn't loosened up yet but I think it will start to break soon. If only we had some more type here and the monastery printer had more time we could really do something about it." In a postscript, Merton adds a handwritten request, "Could I see a copy of the Bense reader? Looks interesting. Also the MacLow stanzas, as I am doing some, that - & Dieter Rot.

Amazon.com: Mainframe Experimentalism challenges the conventional wisdom that the digital arts arose out of Silicon Valley's technological revolutions in the 1970s. In fact, in the 1960s, a diverse array of artists, musicians, poets, writers, and filmmakers around the world were engaging with mainframe and mini-computers to create innovative new artworks that contradict the stereotypes of "computer art." Juxtaposing the original works alongside scholarly contributions by well-established and emerging scholars from several disciplines, Mainframe Experimentalism demonstrates that the radical and experimental aesthetics and political and cultural engagements of early digital art stand as precursors for the mobility among technological platforms, artistic forms, and social sites that has become commonplace today.s -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
