INFORMATION: THE COMPLETE DOSSIER;
DOG GRUEL CODEX FILE;
& ETC, :CONVERSATION PIECE
The DOSSIER is an absurdist list of characteristics(?) such as teeth rot, "Sharpen dull hooks by dulling the hook on that which is sharp," and "TBA." The CODEX FILE is a set of poems rendered unreadable through overprinting, which makes Chinese characters of their letters--and makes a jump after three poems in lower-case letters to a poem in upper-case suddenly & extremely dramatic. ETC. is a series of designs comprised of chunks of letters and numerals in different kinds of typography--an example of what I call "textual illumagery."--Bob Grumman
