Collected Poems Volume Five: Girlie Poems / Cobbing, Bob ; Griffiths B., 1982

 Item — Box 387: [Barcode: 31858072461522]
Identifier: CC-17302-17666
Scope and Contents

Girlie poems are works or poems dedicated to 'girls' whose names, at the very least, have fascinated Cobbing. The poems are constructed as permutations, palindromes, and visual scores by overprinting. As noted by Griffiths, the simpler the score, the greater the performance potential because it allows Cobbing wider improvisation. The book reprints a large number of these poems. One copy of this book has an orange color and another a blue color. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

 Item — Box 391: [Barcode: 31858072461555]
Identifier: CC-17303-17667
Scope and Contents

Richard Truhlar writes "Cobbing uses the writer's tools (typewriter, various duplicating machines, ink, etc.) to explore the word and/or letter as hieroglyph, as phonetic symbol, and as concrete graphic interaction of language image with eye and body rhythms." This volume mainly depicts typewriter poems. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
