Identifier: CC-47828-68848
Scope and Contents This antholgy of Weiner's works was edited by Patrick F. Durgen who also wrote the introduction.

Hannah Weiner, letter to Bernadette Mayer, April 19, 1975. It is an extremely rare thing in any field to invent a new form. Invention, as such, momentarily collapses the frontier between theory and practice. This is why it not only invariably widens the scope of that field's potential acheivements, but it appears to us, in hindsight, as an event, a phenomenon, a content through which to bring the overall form of that field into historical relief.

Open Letter: Millennial 'Pataphysics. No.7/Win / Christian Bok, Darren Weshler-Henry, editors ; McCaffery S ; lopes d ; deCharmoy C ; Jarry A ; Werschler-Henry D ; Bok C ; Ronell A ; Jirgens K ; Borges J ; Kristeva J ; Learn B., 1997

Ubu, for example is a slapstick comedian (pataud physique ) of unhealthy obesity (pateax physique), whose bodily language (patois physique) foments an astounded physics (epatee physique) that is...
