Eatc, 1965
his image was printed by Brice Marden. Saroyan received a $5,000 grant from NEA to produce this print and FOUR other minimalist, concrete poems. This grant prompted William Proxmire, senator from Wisconsin, to award his Golden Fleece Award to the National Endowment for the Arts as one of the most outrageous examples of slap-your-forehead misappropriations. In his book "an/thology of pwoermds" Geof Huth writes the following: "I began to write pwoermds after becoming entranced by Saroyan's eyeye. The simple beauty of that poem haunted me, even though (and maybe because) the poem began as a typographical error of Saroyan's and it took a friend of his to point out to him its signficance (Solt, Concrete Poetry, 57)." This print was redone in 1989 as a silkscreen orint in 1989 in an edition of 150 with a priceof $1,000 on the internet. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
