Your book is indeed rare now, John. It would be fun and interesting to read. Thank you for sharing the link.

Fike, thanks so much for the helpful information and the link! I absolutely love text and collage so this is perfect. Some of the photos remind me of pieces I've done in the past that people called "found text" or "found poetry". And yes, it was very messed up. :-) Thanks again!  I appreciate the help.

Your text cut-ups are great, Ficus!

I published a book in 1973 - cut-up texts assembled into visual poems, a rare item now:

Hello, Terry.

I've done a LOT of cutups by separating texts into ~4" lines and reassembling them in an attempt to generate cutups which may be read and sound slightly sensible but more like totally messed up. Here's a link:

Others may do things differently. William S. Burroughs is one famous practitioner. I think of them as collages of text.

Y'r ol' Bud,

Fike

Carl Baker, I am fascinated by your piece "bookWORK". Did you do all the mark making? It's a lovely work of art!

Hello, this group intrigued me so I joined recently. Can you please fill me in on what the group is/does? I understand it is about cutting but it there something in particular you are looking for? Do you then just share your pieces here? Do you have collaborations or swaps? Thanks for your help!
