Goldsmith records his conversational life from April 15, 1996 to April 21, 1996 in a stream of consciousness style. The personal aspects of his daily routine, working for an all night, avant garde radio station, creating Web sites, talking with Cheryl Donagan, his wife, attending lectures and art openings, and meeting Marjorie Perloff are all obsessively recorded by the artist /poet. Goldsmith describes how he went to RISD and used to make sculptures of books and then carved language onto the wooden books. Although he felt the sculptures were really beautiful, Goldsmith became much more interested in the language than in the actual form of the book object itself. The Sackner Archive holds one of these early pieces, "Steal This Book." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
