This book was first published in a limited edition by Editions Bravin Post Lee in 1997. A signed copy of that volume is held by the Sackner Archive. 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.

This book is the companion to the documentary film of the same title. The Sex Pistols burst onto the music scene in 1976 and smashed up everything they touched. Their revolutionary sound energized disaffected youth worldwide while their larger-than-life singer, John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten), and bass player, Sid Vicious, captured headlines throughout the Pistols' twenty-six-month reign as the lads who created punk. For the first time, John Lydon, Paul Cook, Glen Matlock, Steve Jones, and Sid Vicious tell their story together in their own words through new interviews and archival material. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents This book is a compilation of the texts, scores, and ideas of seven American composers who use words as an integral part of their compositions. The following are excerpts from the seven interviews . . . John Cage: We should study the ways of industry. In order to, ourselves, behave globally, as industry behaves. They do it out of greed. We should do it out of the desire to make the house we live in, which is the whole place, in good working order. Robert Ashley: Its okay to sit in your room and listen to a record over and over again when you're fifteen, but if you do that when you are forty, people think you are crazy. But the funny thing is that we have actually allowed ourselves that free time for television. Yoko Ono: Somehow all the things that come out of me like words or music or whatever seem to be not my doing. It just comes in and I immediately write it down. I don't think of it as talent necessarily. I think of it like a good radio. Laurie Anderson: As these two life...

Scope and Contents Amazon.com: 'The New North Georgia Gazette is an annotated transcription of the 1821 newspaper, The North Georgia Gazette. The newspaper was written aboard an English ship trapped in the Arctic. The ship s captain had the sailors produce the newspaper in order to ward off scurvy. Caroline Picard, Director of the Green Lantern, describes The Gazette as an incredible existential metaphor, where, a group of people, stranded in the dark, are forced to make their own meaning in order to survive the harsh conditions. The Gazette comes at a time of enormous environmental change, and it seeks to point out the importance of the relationships between humans and their surrounding environment. In addition to the entire 1821 newspaper, the book includes excerpts from the Captain s journal, original annotations by transcriber/poet Lily Robert-Foley, an introduction by St. John s (MD) Professor Dr. Michael Comenetz, an essay about optimism and humilty by contemporary Arctic expeditionist John...

Scope and Contents This book was designed by Richard Eckersley and is one of the most outstanding examples of experimental book design for a non-fiction book of the 20th century. The main text is formatted in terms of indexing like the white pages of a telephone directory and the footnotes and index are printed on orange colored pages to simulate the yellow pages. The page layouts include mixing of fonts, fragmenting sentences, overprinting, sentences constructed like Parole in Liberta, and interspercing of diagrams.The first part of the text deals with the philosopher, Heidegger's Nazi leanings and how one of his subsequent excuses related to a telephoned request for action. The following sections continue to attack his philosophical theories as well, with themes of psychoanalysis and telephone calls, and the place of the telephone in American society. Alexander Graham Bell and his relationship with Helen Keller are described as well as his work with Thomas A. Watson. "Remember: when you're on the...

Scope and Contents Wikepedia: The Zong Massacre was a mass-killing of African slaves that took place on November 29th, 1781, on the Zong, a British slave ship owned by James Gregson and colleagues in a Liverpool slave-trading firm. The resulting court case, brought as a civil action by the ship-owners seeking compensation from the insurers for the slave-traders' lost "cargo", was a landmark in the battle against the African slave trade of the eighteenth century. The term "Zong Massacre" was not universally used at the time. It was usually called "The Zong Affair," the term "massacre" being used mainly by those considered to be "dangerous radicals," as late eighteenth-century politics stood. At the time, the killing of slaves"”individually or en masse"”was not considered to be murder, at least legally. In English law, the act was completely legal and could be freely admitted to the highest court in the land, without danger of prosecution.The publicity over this case was, however, one of the factors...
