Scope and Contents

DeCampos provides a brief discussion of his first meeting with Gomringer in his first communication with Houedard. He thanks Houedard for sending him typogrammes..."very interesting as studies of form though I personally prefer always to use the semantical element." States that both Gomringer and his group began from the same starting point, i.e., Mallarme's the throw of the dice, "the threshold of new poetry." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
