Goldsmith recorded every movement his body made on June 16, 1997 from 10 AM to 11PM without using the word "I." He attempted to reduce the body to a catalogue of mechanical movements by a strict act of observation. The list of words continue until the final chapter where they morph backwards (mirror writing in print), The text is also on the WEB with a Java applet version and was performed. Marjorie Perloff contributed an incisive afterward, "Vocable Scriptsigns" that explains the work. The book was edited and designed by Darren Wershler-Henry. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

This book is the prospectus for the paperback edition of Soliloquy, a book that recorded every word spoken by Goldsmith in a week. The Sackner Archive is cited. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

This book was first published in a limited edition by Editions Bravin Post Lee in 1997. A signed copy of that volume is held by the Sackner Archive. Goldsmith records his conversational life from April 15, 1996 to April 21, 1996 in a stream of consciousness style. The personal aspects of his daily routine, working for an all night, avant garde radio station, creating Web sites, talking with Cheryl Donagan, his wife, attending lectures and art openings, and meeting Marjorie Perloff are all obsessively recorded by the artist /poet. Goldsmith describes how he went to RISD and used to make sculptures of books and then carved language onto the wooden books. Although he felt the sculptures were really beautiful, Goldsmith became much more interested in the language than in the actual form of the book object itself. The Sackner Archive holds one of these early pieces, "Steal This Book." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
