Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Fair. VORT Twenty-First Century Pre-Views: David Antin - Jerome Rothenberg. Seventh in a series focusing on contemporary American Poets. Barry Alpert, Editor. Published by VORT WORKS INK, Silver Spring, Maryland. 1975. Signed letter by David Antin dated 1975. 11 x 8.5", large 8vo. In fair condition. Cream…covers are lightly foxed with scuffing to edges and corners. Head and tail of spine bumped; black lettering overall bright and clean. Text-block lightly toned at edges of leaves. Binding remains intact. Typed letter is folded in thirds with some light toning at creases. David Antin has signed his first name above his printed name & added some manuscript notes at bottom edge. Please see photos and ask questions, if any, before purchasing. David Abraham Antin (1932 2016) was an American poet, art critic, performance artist, and university professor. In the late 1960s, Antin began performing extemporaneously, improvising "talk poems" at readings and exhibitions. In the late 1960s Antin moved with his wife, the writer and performance artist Eleanor Antin, to Southern California to take up a post at the University of California, San Diego, in the newly formed and experimental Visual Arts Department. He served for a time as gallery director and from 1971 to 1999 as a Professor. During this time Antin served several terms as Chairman of the Visual Arts Dept. In the early 1970s, his influence on a nascent group of conceptual photographers among the graduate students there was powerful. He has a fellowship in the Guggenheim Foundation and the NEH. Inside is a letter from Antin to, most likely, Harold Rosenberg containing references to teaching at Chicago, other publications of Antin s works and asking for a reference for Antin so that he might apply for a Guggenheim Fellowship.

Seller: Lorne Bair Rare Books, ABAA, Winchester, VA, U.S.A.Lorne Bair Rare Books, ABAA
Contact seller5-star sellerFirst Editions. Eight quarto issues (28cm); mimeographed and offset-printed sheets, alternately saddle-stiched, stapled, and prefectbound into decorative card wrappers. This set is from the library of noted poet, translator, and anthropologist Nathaniel Tarn (1928-2024), with his penciled name appearing on the contents leaf of N…o.1, and a few issues bearing his light penciled marks in the margins. Issue No.3 has been lengthily inscribed to Tarn by editor Barry Alpert, who has also inscribed Nos.5 and 7; issue No.6 has been inscribed by Alpert to Hugh Kenner on the inner front cover. No.6 shows some modest toning and dust-soil to spine and covers, though clean internally; Very Good+. Remaining issues show light wear to extremities, a few faint surface scratches to front cover of No.1; Near Fine overall. A near-complete run (lacking only the final issue) of Barry Alpert's short-lived little magazine published out of Silver Spring, Maryland. "For all but one of its nine issues, Vort followed the same pattern in its plain, large-format issues, creating a little critical universe for each of two authors.Perhaps more of an encyclopedia in parts than a magazine or journal, the issues included a photograph of each author, a small collection of each author's work, three or four critical studies, homages, commentaries, and long and detailed interviews with each author by editor Alpert.Vort is an unfortunately unfinished encyclopedia of the New American Poetry, but is still very useful for the information it contains and still important "for those to whom criticism is a fine art" (Clay & Phillips, p.245). Contributors include Ed Dorn, Tom Raworth, Anselm Hollo, Ted Berrigan, David Bromige, Ken Irby, Fielding Dawson, Jonathan Williams, Robert Kelly, David Antin, Jerome Rothenberg, Jackson Mac Low, and Armand Schwerner.
