Ground Works: Avant-Garde for Thee , 2002

 Item
Identifier: CC-41495-43482
Scope and Contents

This book is a compendium of Canadian avant garde writing from 1965 to 1985. Margaret Atwood, who contributed an over-view essay of the work produced during those years, collaborated with Bok to organize the selections of experimental fiction by the authors. John Riddell contributed "Pope Leo: El Lope" from Criss-Cross. It is a lipogram using only the letters e, o, l and p. The contribution by bp Nichol is from "Still... a novel that depicts in minute detail the scenography for a potential, but postponed , story... his words provide a kind of textual terrain across which the eye pans like a camera." Steve McCaffery's "Panopticon" is an enigmatic whodunnit...The panopticon symbolizes the maze of words through which the reader must wander, playing the role of invisible spectator." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Heads & H&Z, 1985

 Item — Box 281: [Barcode: 31858072460649]
Identifier: CC-19604-19990
Scope and Contents

This anthology Includes reprints of a selection of curry's publishing activities focusing on his rubberstampings of minimalistic and concrete poems of his own and his circle of poets. Dean comments: this making precious of the single poem was the result of necessity as much as esthetic deliberation; curry published within a finite small budget. This could have caused poor-quality production, i.e. Gestetner, offset or xerox. Instead it resulted in hand-stamp, hand-set rubber type, as his chosen (& unique) means of publication. His scaled down book remained both anarchic and typographically refined. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
