No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Collection of 280 concrete poems (140 pages, both recto and verso). Unbound; collected in a brown cardboard box. In the author's description: "The antecedents for this work are the journals Art & Language (1970's), Artforum (1970/80) and a good number of critical texts on Post-Minimalism, Post-S…tructuralism, etc. Phrases culled from these sources are juxtaposed to one another to create philosophical conundrums regarding contemporary aesthetics and poetic practice. Some of these phrases are particularly powerful when placed on objects (like mirrors, combs, buttons, empty boxes, etc.). I have used this strategy in a number of gallery exhibitions and it has proven to be quite successful in stimulating critical discourse and in some cases laughter." From the collection of Canadian poet and founding editor of Underwhich Editions, Paul Dutton. Edition of 100 copies.
