10 Poemas / cummings, e.e. ; Augusto de Campos, translator., 1964

 Item
Identifier: CC-19407-19790
Scope and Contents

The critical text on the loose sheet by Augusto De Campos compares cummings' poetry to Mallarme's Un Coup de Des. De Campos notes that in contrast to lettrisme, in cummings' poetry the words are not dissociated from the meaning nor are letters valid by themselves. De Campos believes that the word expressionism (typographical gesturing) and disfigurement of the discursive in cummings' poetry find their best visual arts equivalent in the works of Paul Klee. This is the second edition, the first edition was published in 1960. Stored in Augusto de Campos box. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

 Item
Identifier: CC-48539-69570
Scope and Contents Mike Schaefer did the abstract silkscreen prints for this book. As mentioned on Horvath's blog, "MOSTLY BROKEN SCABS PRESS 1977 -- 1984: For $10 I bought an old paste ink Gestetner mimeograph from a friend's brother-in-law who owned a used office furniture store and who has subsequently gone insane. The mimeo had a major crack in one of the drums that would prevent the image over the crack from reproducing. With a bunch of duct tape, it worked ok for me. I printed most of the publications in the kitchen of my Clifton Blvd. apartment. The last magazine was called Scratch (like the sound of a tone arm going across a record). In reality, I think the Scratch magazines were about learning to appreciate subtleties and forgiveness.

Ancestors / Brathwaite, Kamau., 2001

 Item
Identifier: CC-47814-68834
Scope and Contents From Publishers Weekly: A number of august poet and scholar Brathwaite's recent books of poetry contain substantial revisions of earlier works; this 20th collection is the latest and most compelling of them, collecting in one volume a trilogy--Mother Poem, Sun Poem and X/Self--first published by Oxford University Press between 1977 and 1987. Mother Poem depicts familial and social life in Barbados, while Sun Poem focuses on a father and the growth of a young son, and X/Self posits its mature subject within a larger history that reaches at least as far back to the time when "Rome burns/ & our slavery begins." Ancestors recasts all three books by stressing as strongly as possible the spoken aspects of the text (thereby allowing regional and local dialects to threaten the homogenizing tendencies of "proper" English), cladding them in jagged breaks, computerized glyphs, "Sycorax video style" type, extended puns and unorthodox spellings: "cause no bright/ man cyaaan be// faddah to...
