Recent Experiments in Holopoetry and Computer Holopoetry, 1991

 Item
Identifier: CC-08058-8218
Scope and Contents

Kac comments on "Adrift," a holographic poem commissioned for the Sackner Archive. It is composed of 7 words that dissolve into space along the Z axis as the viewer reads them back and forth. The letters that make up the words are floating freely along the Z axis except for the word "breathe," which is somewhere integrated into the overall light field. This word blows life to the other words as its letters actually move away from their original position to dissolve again into the light field. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Selected Correspondence of Kenneth Patchen, 2012

 Item
Identifier: CC-54360-643248
Scope and Contents

From the introduction by Allen Frost: " This is the inspiring story of a supreme artist absolutely committed to his dream. Kenneth Patchen's Painted Books, novels, prophecies and poems are a testament to life and hope. However this is also a tale of the adversity he faced: monetary critical neglect, and a physical pain that kept him bedridden for much of his life. Often reading these letters, the path of Kenneth Patchen's life can be drawn following his own words, in a philosphy that he established early on, "It's always because we love that we are rebellious..Patchen is revealed here as the beloved rebel poet whose refusal to accept boundaries led to his innovations in poetry and prose as well as painting and jazz." The Sackner Archive holds contians among other works, several Patchen's books with painted covers. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
