Go / St. Thomasino, Gregory Vincent; Jacob M., 1995

 Item
Identifier: CC-39839-41803
Scope and Contents According to St. Thomasino: "The Go poems were originally composed on a standard manual Olivetti Lettera 32 typewriter. They were and still are considered to be "typewriter poems" by virtue of the fact that they were conceived and composed according to the "standard" all-letters-take-the-same-space-as-the-widest-letter arrangement that is the case with most popular manual typewriters. Until the availability of the monospaced Microsoft TrueType font Courier New, reproduction for publication had to be accomplished by paste up (and this is still the case, as most editors still do not have a monospaced font available for layout, notwithstanding the fact that typewriter poems are usually notoriously difficult, and time-consuming, for an editor to reset). Most importantly, I could not compose or revise a Go poem on my PC. Until a monospaced font became available, the typewriter poem was bound to the typewriter. (And a poem such as "Jacques' Dilemma" could not, until then, be composed on...

Larva: Midsummer Night's Babel / Rios, Julian ; Richard Alan Francis, translator ; Suzanne Jill Levine, translator., 1990

 Item
Identifier: CC-46342-49066
Scope and Contents This great novel of language "demonstrates, through its faultless rigor and prodigious capacity for linguistic invention, that the routes of Sterne and Joyce, Rabelais ad Celine, Cabrera Infante and Sarduy are in fact perfectly usable." Severo Sarduy writes,"the myth of Don Juan could be the background o Larva in a swirl of eloquent masks.First published in Spain in 1983 and proclaimed "an instant postmodern classic, without a doubt the most disturbingly original Spanish prose of the century" (Encyclopedia Britannica 1985 Book of the Year), Larva is a rollicking account of a masquerade party in an abandoned mansion in London. Milalias (disguised as Don Juan) searches for Babelle (as Sleeping Beauty) though a linguistic fun house of polylingual puns and wordplay recalling Joyce's "Finnegans Wake." A mock-scholarly commentary reveals the backgrounds of the masked revelers, while Ríos's punning and allusive language shows that words too wear masks, hiding an astonishing range of...

Manifesto!, 1978

 Item — Box 331: [Barcode: 31858072490976]
Identifier: CC-23101-23538
Scope and Contents NYT Exhibition Review: Whatever the aesthetic merit of Gene Beery's Pop-Conceptual paintings, on view in this delightful miniretrospective, they are certainly funny. Since the early 60's, Mr. Beery has been making word paintings that look and read like signs you see in shop windows. What the words offer, however, are not commodities but mischievous, self-referential messages, like John Baldessari's but goofier. ''Invent your own art kit!'' blares the exuberant text of a 1968 spoof of Conceptualism called ''Be an Artist Tomorrow.'' ''No brains, technique, skill, imagination, etc. needed. Clever system makes everyone an old master in seconds.''In ''Essences Only,'' made this year, Mr. Beery used a thin brush to write in black with apparently casual haste on a white canvas, ''My life is now too short to spend much time on formal painting art concerns. I am simply recording essences.'' Just so.It is tempting to go on quoting other paintings, but it is worth noting, too, the paradoxical...
