Improvisations, 2005

 Item
Identifier: CC-44187-46313
Scope and Contents

This is a tour de force of mainly language and performance poetry. Frazer utilizes the word, "glossolalia" in a number of the poems. This is defined as strings of meaningless syllables made up of sounds taken from those familiar to the speaker and put together more or less haphazardly .... Glossolalia is language-like because the speaker unconsciously wants it to be language-like. Yet in spite of superficial similarities, glossolalia fundamentally is not language. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
