Scope and Contents

Dick Higgins, in his introduction, describes Porter as a "one-man art and technology movement...a brilliantly inventive but uncrackable Maine hickory nut." This book relates to the period when Porter left for Australia and supposedly sums up all his knowledge as a physicist, poet, publisher, sculptor, illustrator, and humorist. Bern Porter was born February 14, 1911 and died June 7, 2004. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
