Scope and Contents

Cobbing describes the history of contemporary sound poetry and the techniques utilized by the poets. He concludes "The very diversity of sound poetry is in line with its emphasis on the freedom of the individual and the withering of external authority, on man as a communal and social animal, on communication as a life-giving activity, things which in this bureaucratic and techncratic age we need constantly to remember." This is Cobbing's manuscript essay for the ground-breaking exhibition, "klankteksten ? konkrete poezie visuele tesksten - sound texts ? concrete poetry visual texts - akustiche texte ? konkrete poesie visuelle texte." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
