Rapel: 10 fauve and suprematist poems / Finlay, Ian Hamilton., 1963

 Item
Identifier: CC-11674-11892
Scope and Contents Missing one print, "ballad," a poem dealing with the theme of sailors. Includes a poem entitled "Homage to Malevich" in which a square is made up of the words black and block printed with a bold black typeface. This poem has been critically analyzed by Stephen Scobie (Earthquakes& Explorations, Toronto, Canada: University of Toronto Press, 1997, hard cover book, pp 182-189) as pivotal to the understanding of Finlay's work. "The letter to Garnier indicates also the extent to which Finlay's aesthetic was formed by the artistic movements of the early twentieth century; its reference points are Cubism, Fauvism, and Suprematism. The recourse to painting arose, the letter explains, at the point where verbal language in itself seemed inadequate: 'with the extraordinary (since wholly unexpected) sense that the syntax I had been using, the movement of language in me, at a physical level, was no longer there.'

Identifier: CC-59602-10002680
Scope and Contents The Sackner Archive lent Houedard typewriter poems for reproduction in this book.AMAZON.COM: "Lori Emerson examines how interfaces"”from today's multitouch devices to yesterday's desktops, from typewriters to Emily Dickinson's self-bound fascicle volumes"”mediate between writer and text as well as between writer and reader. Following the threads of experimental writing from the present into the past, she shows how writers have long tested and transgressed technological boundaries.Reading the means of production as well as the creative works they produce, Emerson demonstrates that technologies are more than mere tools and that the interface is not a neutral border between writer and machine but is in fact a collaborative creative space.
