This book describes an exhibition and a symposium that included sound poetry, which was held in Venice in June 1972. The critic, Rossana Apicella, mentions, "Let us hope, si licet, that visual poetry will not meet with rapid success, that it will remain immediate, violent, mad and popular, erudite and authentically experimental; there is a risk, otherwise, that according to the logic of human destiny it will get up to a dangerous pedestal." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
