| The largest Collection in the world is The Sackner Archive, Miami USA with a viewable database of over 66,000 citations including about 150 of my booklets, cassettes and performance leaflets. The Getty Research Institute, CA USA has a number through their purchase of Jean Brown’s Archive, to whom I sold work when I stayed there in 1980 after my performance at the International Sound Poetry Festival in Washington Square, New York. On that visit I also sold to the Museum of Modern Art Library, New York USA. From 1970 onwards, based on material in my Collection I gave illustrated talks combined with performance on concrete, visual and sound poetry here and abroad (e.g. University of Shiraz, Iran, 1976; British Council, Athens and Thessaloniki, 1980; Texas Tech University 1983). One of a series, I held a Day School: Word and Image at Oxford University Department of Continuing Education, an Oxford Artweeks event 1988, focussed on a ‘browsing table’ of Archive items and display boards round the room [Photo 4] Learn more of these activities in Section 7. |

5. DEVELOPMENT OF MY SYNTHESIS OF POETRY - MUSIC - ELECTRONICS
My article The Use of the Voice in Sound Poetry, EAR MAG (NY) 1981 was published without its 13 essential illustrations; so bpNichol offered to print it complete in the journal Open Letter Spring 1984, Toronto, Canada. However, the NY version got me invited to annual 2-week residencies under the auspices of the Electronic Music Studio, Texas Tech University from 1983-6, performing and recording with the Steven Paxton Group in the early days of computer-synthesizers and electronic keyboards. This culminated in our concert at the Houston Festival (1986) presenting my hour-long 25th Anniversary poem PHOS PHOR. Mindful of nearby NASA, its space-age 28 short intense sections questions our place in the universe. In 1990 Texas Tech University issued a CD compilation of my recordings there called THE DUNDEE TELEGRAMS AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS. |
