Collected Poems Volume Five: Girlie Poems / Cobbing, Bob ; Griffiths B., 1982

 Item — Box 387: [Barcode: 31858072461522]
Identifier: CC-17302-17666
Scope and Contents

Girlie poems are works or poems dedicated to 'girls' whose names, at the very least, have fascinated Cobbing. The poems are constructed as permutations, palindromes, and visual scores by overprinting. As noted by Griffiths, the simpler the score, the greater the performance potential because it allows Cobbing wider improvisation. The book reprints a large number of these poems. One copy of this book has an orange color and another a blue color. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
