Scope and Contents

This article (page 9) about Dom Sylvester Houedard deals with the book launch of "Notes from the Cosmic Typewriter" (2012) by Occasional Papers at the South London Gallery in December 2012. The Sackners were present at this event and Marvin Sackner lectured on visual works that Houedard made before his well known typed concrete poems. One of the two illustrations in this article was the property of the Sackner Archive. The newspaper was mailed to the Sackners along with a thank you card by Sara [de Bondt] and Antony Hudek, the owners of Occasional Papers. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
