13 Variations / Williams, Emmett., 1965

 Item
Identifier: CC-37687-39561
Scope and Contents

This work is also designated Mat Mot No.6. The piece consists of six words written by Gertrude Stein, "when this you see remember me," a color assigned to each word. Each print doubles the number of words from the previous plate such that in the final print the 24,516 words fuse together. The work was made by handstamping the work on 72 plates, and the integrated result visible only after 78 operations of the color press. The stamping was done at full speed to achieve the fusion of words, not the spreading of color. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

15 Shakespeare Kaku 3rd edition / Cobbing, Bob., 1973

 Item
Identifier: CC-20097-20491
Scope and Contents Designated minibooks number six. This is the third edition of the booklet. jw curry writes on the WEB: "15 Shakespeare Kaku was given a three-voice and organ live performance by Konkrete Canticle (Bob Cobbing, Paula Claire and Michael Chant) on April 23rd 1972 at a Shakespeare Birthday Week Gala Concert in Southwark Cathedral. The text presents fifteen spatially sequential typographical assemblages, I refer to them as figures, that are so partial as to be all but illegible. Two exceptions are the first and last figures, the first being a compacted version of the title page minus the word kaku, "shake" overprinted above and overprinted "spear". Although neither is cleanly present the expected closure Shakespeare can easily be made. Cobbing's final figure reprises the spear but does so to draw emphasis to "ear." The six-page text sequence begins on the recto with three horizontal figures, a double page spread with one vertical figure opposite to three more horizontal figures, a...

Scope and Contents L. "les193" Amazon.com: Perloff is one of the great boosters of the 'alternative modernists' -- the theme of this book -- and spends a good deal of time in the trenches, doing polemical readings of recent poets in the avant-garde. Lyn Heijnian versus, e.g., Seamus Heaney -- Perloff wants radical approaches, and she finds the best of those who'll never be reviewed in the New York Times because of their newness. Maybe fifty years from now, the Times will pretend that, of course, we all knew they were great from the start. Obscure to god-like, with no intervening step. In contrast to some of the avant-garde LANGUAGE types, Perloff is fair and low BS when it comes to her criticism (constrast Charles Bernstein's insufferable Poetics.) Her close readings are in the style of someone like Helen Vendler (although Perloff and Vendler are near-contemporaries, so it's unlikely that one's derivative of the other.) There aren't many people who can write with such acuity -- the only thing worse...
