Scope and Contents

This book was designed by Jody Zellen. In it, an interview in 1995 with the British visual and concrete poet Paula Claire is cited that ends with the following question and answer: "And what do you think of the Sackners' collection?" "I feel that because of the Sackners, this whole field can never be ignored. That collection is at their house, they own it, but inevitably it will become part of a public institution, and a lot more people will know about it and it will give all the visual poets more prominence, because it cannot possibly be ignored." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
