what dyou mean poetrys like bed? (231161) / Houedard, Dom Sylvester., 1961

Scope and Contents This is a great poem about the far reaching impact of poetry.nThe Aramaic words 'maran atha' are written towars the end of the poem followed by the repeated phrase 'god come. Wikpedia: 'If one chooses to split the two words as מרנא תא (maranâ thâ), a vocative concept with an imperative verb, then it can be translated as a command to the Lord to come. On the other hand, if one decides that the two words מרן אתא (maran 'athâ), a possessive "Our Lord" and a perfect/preterite verb "has come," are actually more warranted, then it would be seen as a credal expression. This interpretation, "Our Lord has come," is supported by what appears to be an equivalent of this in the early credal acclamation found in the biblical books of Romans 10:9 and 1 Corinthians 12:3, "Jesus is Lord."

Where Are They Now? (The Class of Forty-Seven) / Phillips, Tom ; McHugh, Heather ; Minsky R., 1990

 Item
Identifier: CC-04818-4910
Scope and Contents

The book is based upon Phillips' collaged portraits of classmates attending his primary school, which was exhibited in London at the National Portrait Gallery in 1988. Phillips sent copies of 31 images to the American Seattle poet, Heather McHugh, who composed a poem for each portrait. Phillips then interpreted the poems in the style of "A Humument." His new text sometimes reaffirms and other times contradicts the poet's intrerpretation of the pictures. The collage, conventional poem and visual poem were printed by Minsky on the same page using Richard de Bas paper, a computer, and a Canon BJ-130 inkjet printer. This copy is the only one that contains the 31 images and poems handcolored by Phillips. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
