Thing of Beauty
This landmark collection brings together poetry, performance pieces, \"traditional\" verse, prose poems, and other poetical texts from Jackson Mac Low's lifetime in art. The works span the years from 1937, beginning with \"Thing of Beauty,\" his first poem, until his death in 2004 and demonstrate his extraordinary range as well as his unquenchable enthusiasm. Mac Low is widely acknowledged as one of the major figures in twentieth-century American poetry, with much of his work ranging into the spheres of music, dance, theater, performance, and the visual arts. Comparable in stature to such giants as Robert Creeley, John Ashbery, and Allen Ginsberg, Mac Low is often associated with composer John Cage, with whom he shared a delight in work derived from \"chance operations.\" This volume, edited by Anne Tardos, his wife and frequent collaborator, offers a balanced arrangement of early, middle, and late work, designed to convey not just the range but also the progressions and continuities of his writings and \"writingways.\"

Prose Look Settled
Loan hinge like come nose wont net not necessary occurs take glasses. \"Look\" was made from a repunctuated chanceoperational mix of the words of my intuitively written poem \"Twenties 4\" (5/1/89) and G.E.M. Anscombe's English translation of Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations I, 103, by inputting the mix to Charles O. Hartman's text-manipulation program DIASTEXT (an automation of one of my diastic text-selection methods developed in January 1963) and by rule-guided reformatting and repunctuation of the output. The Lucas series I1 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29 and its reverse determined alternately the number of sentences in the successive paragraph/strophes of each part of the poem up to the ninth, in which the series \"turns\" (reverses) after the fifth (11-sentence) paragraph/strophe, so that the last one comprises seven sentences and the number series is thus truncate(d). Forthcoming, from JACKSON MAC LOW, are Pieces o' Six and Bamesbook (Sun & Moon), and Merzgedicbte in Memoriam Kurt Scbwitters (Station Hill).
