Scope and Contents This is the catalogue for a retrospective exhibition of Boshoff's work. Boshoff writes that his inspiration for concrete poetry was his passion for crossword puzzles. Boshoff writes (page 23) in an lengthy biographical interview with Warren Siebrits the following: In early 1996, I visited the book artist Robbin Silverberg taking with me a silkscreen print of a poem from KYKAFRICAANS to thank her for the hospitality and kindness she showed me.

As it happened, the great American collector, Marvin Sackner, from Miami, visited Toni's home while we were there. He became so enthusiastic that he decided on the spot to buy the original manuscript of the 99 A4 typed pages that constitute KYKAFRICAANS, and invited us to go and visit him...
