Collected Poems Volume One: Cygnet Ring / Cobbing, Bob., 1977
This book includes poems of cut-ups begun in 1956. The method was to decide on the number of lines, clip out newspaper lines of the required number, and paste them up in an effective order to give an appearance of a conventional poem. This work antedates Gysin's 1959 cut-ups, usually attributed as the first to employ it. This book also includes cut-ups of earlier cut-ups, and permutations or mutations based on newspaper headlines but originating from phrases clipped from books. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

In their introductory essay, "A Fair Field Full of Folk," the editors write about Bob Cobbing as follows: "Cobbing, a resourceful and tireless arts and workshop organizer and publisher, established his radical press Writers Forum in 1954, in 1963 putting its output on a more established and consistent footing, producing cheap mimeographed pamphlets of experimental writing and concrete poetry with great persistence. In his own work he was developing the fusion of visual and aural performance elements that make him a consistent force within British poetry. His re-defining of the nature of the 'text' - as shown by work in this anthology - remains extreme and radical today." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
