This volume is the first collection of Rothenberg's poetic writings and includes ideas and excerpts from his books and essays. Rothenberg indicates that Abulalfia (1240-c.1291) himself writes of the abstracting/spiritualizing process which he then employs & by which the world is apprehended as language/sound: "Know that the method of tseruf (the combination of letters) can be compared to music; for the ear hears sounds from various combinations,in accordance with the character of the melodu & the instrument. In touch with yogic currents fgrom the East, Abulafia's intention was mantric, but his practice of a systemic & concrete poetry also closely resembles the 20th century Lettrisme of Isidore Isou, the asymmetries & nuclei of Jackson Mac Low & the blues Kabbalah improvisions of Jack Hirschman, all of whom he may have influenced. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Subitiled "L'art vivant autour du musee de Lodz," the exhibition and catalogue was more than a panorama or a retrospective of the intellectual, artistique and spiritual center of art in Poland. It was a multi-discipline manifestation of a utopian community which started in the 1930's and gave a voice to the cultural and artistic collaboration between Poland and France. The Sackners attended this exhibition held at the Pompidou Centre. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Kac comments on "Adrift," a holographic poem commissioned for the Sackner Archive. It is composed of 7 words that dissolve into space along the Z axis as the viewer reads them back and forth. The letters that make up the words are floating freely along the Z axis except for the word "breathe," which is somewhere integrated into the overall light field. This word blows life to the other words as its letters actually move away from their original position to dissolve again into the light field. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents Gertrude Stein was one of America's most influencial writers and thinkers of the twentieth century and is considered by many to be a creator of modernism. This groundbreaking publication and accompanying exhibition present for the first time an in-depth portrait of Stein that knits together her many identities - literary celebrity, lifelong partner of Alice B. Toklas, arts networker whose famous friendships included some of the most prominent artists and writers of her time, Jewish American expatriate, and muse to artists of several generations. This project, 'Seeing Gerturde Stein: Five Stories,' details Stein's life and work as an artist and collector and places them in the larger context of her visual world for the first time. We are also introduced to Stein as a distinctive style-maker and as an expatriate American writer whose life intersected with that of internationally recognized artists and visual culture, from 1903, when she first arrived in Paris, until 1946, when she...

Scope and Contents Using Kitasono as a window on Japanese literature in the twentieth century, John Solt analyzes the relationship of Japanese writers to foreign literary movements and the influences of Japanese writers on world literature. He also provides a critical analysis of Kitasono's poetic working methods with several translations of poems written in Japanese to English. He mentions that in the late 1920s, Katue published "Collection of White Poems" that was translated by Solt. This is a constellation long before Gomringer declared this form, concrete poetry, e.g. white residence - white table - pink noblelady - white distant view - blue sky, etc. Solt records the following. "Other Western poets took notice of the VOU translations. High praise came from Hugh Gordon Porteus, who wrote in Criterion in 1939, "The most fruitful experiments with language are likely to continue to emerge from those who concern themselves with images and their relations, rather than with idle wordspinning.
