Scope and Contents
These poems were conceived as "Visual Sound" and were inspired by the music of Cage, Reich and Stockhausen as well as by avant garde rock groups like "Throbbing Gristle." All utilize typewriter characters but with one exception, none have English language letters. One of the poems is entitled "(breathing)" and depicts crescendo-decrescendo like images made with the Greek letter Omega. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
