Comment by De Villo Sloan on March 30, 2013 at 6:41pm: from Karl Kempton's "deep square wave structure"

Comment by De Villo Sloan on March 30, 2013 at 6:37pm: Guido, I do remember Alan Riddell as well as the vispo or concrete poetry some folks call Typewriter Art. Here is a piece by Karl Kempton that was made all with a typewriter, nothing digital:

Cheryl made an error and listed Michael Jacobson as Italian, so correct this in the compilation, please.

Cheryl asked me also to act as go-between with Pete Spence and to invite him to participate in the editions of mail art makes the world a town. We’ll see how that goes. Pete is an outstanding poet and visual poet with strong personal opinions (like most of us)
