Scope and Contents
The title of the book is not printed on the dust jacket as is the other copy held by the Sackner Archive. The imagery between the two dust jackets differs greatly. The images on most of the pages consist of poems composed with different typefaces and that appear to have been clipped from magazine and newspaper articles. In some of these poems, appropriated images have also been integrated into the poems. Finally, some pages have solely Pop Art images. "Spare Parts" was an advanced poetic book for its time. Papachrysantou was the printer. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
