Daily Notes on Poetry & Related Matters

June 25: A message from Nico was in my InBox this morning:


in here's a point toward font
homage to ginsberg
namely
first font best font
scroll down to view
as well 20th century poetics

This set could not be more my kind of thing--fascinating infraverbal visual poems in their own right but doubled or more by references to poets before that enlarge both poems and referents. . . .

I'm sure I'm not the first to say it, but it's only now that it occurred to me: "no things but in ideas." And here's my homage to Cage: "pageful/ of/ words/ in/ absolute/ fontlessness." The thing I like most about these poems is that they make me want immediately to make poems like them!

Ooops, I think Nico may have made a mistake: "aRisaRisaR" should be "RisaRisaR" if accuracy of quotation is desired. Very common mistake. In fact, I think I'm the only one in the world who doesn't make it.
