Emmett Williams - Selected shorter poems 1950-1970 - Edition Hansjörg Mayer 1974
First edition.
One of Emmett Williams more comprehensive (and heavier) tomes surveying his work from 1950 – 1970. A beautifully typeset and chronological gathering of poetry, concrete poetry, sound poetry, collages, performances, illustrations, and art where Williams playfully explores language, concepts, and ideas through writing. The cover photograph of Williams smoking and reading in the bathtub is by Vera Spoerri.
A great book showcasing the range of Williams’ talents as they relate to concrete poetry, Fluxus, and life itself.
