Diagrammatic Writing / Drucker, Johanna., 2013

 Item
Identifier: CC-58515-10001736
Scope and Contents Comments by Johanna Drucker on internet: The concept of the "diagram" is vaguely defined in common usage, used to refer to a broad variety of schematic images"”graphs, charts, anatomical images, working drawings and so on. By working towards a tighter definition, we might use the term to refer to a specific category of graphical expressions that spatialize relations. These relations, I suggest, are themselves meaningful"”they are a kind of poetics, a bringing into being of meaning through articulation and expression. The materiality of this poetics of relations provides a way to analyse its formats and features"”to get at, to grasp, to read, see, describe, elaborate the particulars of diagrammatic expressions. The even more specific attention to writing, to written discourse organized in graphical form, exposes the workings of diagrammatic activity within the field of visual verbal activity. We depend upon these, but rarely stop to describe or discuss their structuring principles...

Dices or Black Bones: black voices of the seventies / Miller, Adam David, editor ; Pritchard NH-II ; Harrison DL., 1970

 Item
Identifier: CC-53205-74357
Scope and Contents N[orman]. H. Pritchard contributed the typewriter, concrete and punctuation poems. Among the very first modern anthologies of newer African-American poetry, DICES OR BLACK BONES received the California Teachers of English Award for Best Anthology, 1970. This book was precedent setting in several ways. The editor was allowed to control the illustrator and thereby control the cover image, important at the time because so many contemporary publications then used lurid and often violent imagery to depict African-American experiences. DICES, instead, used art that expressed an African sensibility in keeping with the spirit of the movement-era of the early 1970s. The book premiered poetry by several of the younger Black writers who later became well-known: Al Young, Lucille Clifton, Ishmael Reed, Etheridge Knight, Victor Hernandez Cruz, David Henderson, Conyus, and Clarence Major, as well as many other writers deserving of attention. DICES challenged the prejudice there was no...

Downtown Body / Shelly, Ward; Anderson L; Feldman R; Giorno J; Holman B; Kostelanetz R; Knowles A; Oleszko P; Schneemann C; Howland B., 2008

 Item
Identifier: CC-49156-70196
Scope and Contents Shelley traces the poetic, musical, theatrical, and artistic history of "downtown NYC" over the 20th Century. On the recto of this print, several artists and poets provide short narratives on what it was like to live "downtown in NYC during the 1970's and early 1980's. On Shelley's WEB site, he comments: Downtown Body is a portrait of New York's avant garde cultural landscape. I choose to use the word portrait because I think it conveys a kind of subjective selectivity that my work brings to any subject I work with. I entered into this project with a raucous enthusiasm, but I am exiting the room on tip toes. Downtown-ness touches on the lives of nearly everyone I know and care about. Everyone's sense of who they are is wrapped up in what Downtown means. And what should Downtown mean? Downtown is the success story of New York's art world, both critical and commercial. It's valuable, so it's hyped. It's Downtown Story: the Movie. It's a nostalgic myth, but it is a self-fulfilling...

Edge / Andrews, Bruce., 1973

 Item
Identifier: CC-24658-25111
Scope and Contents

This is the first book published by Andrews. In it, he provides a definition of language poetry, viz., a) fragmentation and quality of words other than (and along with) their meaning, b) stress on texture, sound, rhythm, space and silence, c) less "content" (in the old sense) but hopefully the "language" becomes the content and d) the "individual" words have meanings and associations but these are not yoked together and aimed "outside the poem" at a single externally applied meaning for a poem as a whole. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
