saccade / Cameron, Charles., 2013

 Item
Identifier: CC-58059-10001305
Scope and Contents

Composed on an IBM Selectric typewriter. In a personal communication to the Sacknsrs, Cameron comments 'saccade invites the very eye movements it described. As a separate piece it is original 2013, but it first emerged in a poem about Laura del Sol in the film Carmen by Carlos Saura, in 1983. The poem was a standard lyric poem (words, music and meaning foremost) about the beauty of the dancer, seen through the eyes of a student of cinema, and using some concrete poetry insights in its form. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
