Biography
Dick Higgins was born in Cambridge, England in 1939 and died in Quebec in 1998. He was a Fluxus artist who studied with John Cage and Henry Cowell (1958-1959), and co-founded Happenings in 1958. He is credited with coining the phrase intermedia to describe his particular approach to artmaking that included (but is not limited to) his visual, musical and literary efforts. He was a theorist, poet, composer, performance artist, printmaker, filmaker, and book publisher. Most notably, Higgins founded Something Else Press (1963-1974), operated the Something Else Gallery (1966-1969) and founded Unpublished Editions (Printed Editions) in 1972.

Modular Poems, 1974
In his introduction, Higgins defines a modular poem "in which the principle structural factor is the repetion, usually in different contexts, of one of more elements of th text. Each element becomes a module which may be expanded, compressed or otherwise altered. Or not." The book is illustrated with photographs mainly of old machinery by Eugene Williams. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
