Johanna Drucker in "The Visible Word" (1994) cites an article by Bernard, Le Coup de des de Mallarme...," Revue d'historie de la France, 1951;2:184-186 in which Bernard suggests that Mallarme was intrigued by the possibilities of advertising typography with reference to his poem "Un Coup de Des." Some poems resemble the early letter pictures of Dieter Roth and Pierre Garnier and are highly advanced for the publication year of this book in 1962. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
