HIGGINS (Dick). POEMS Plain & Fancy. Barrytown, NY. 1986. - HIGGINS (Dick) POEMS Plain & Fancy . Barrytown, NY: Station Hill Press, 1986. [12], 124 pp.; 230 mm. First edition of this poetic collection. Dick Higgins (Cambridge, England, 1938 – Quebec City, 1998), American poet, composer, visual artist, theorist, and editor, was a co-founder of the Fluxus movement and coined the concept of ”intermedia” to describe the experimental fusion of artistic disciplines. He founded Something Else Press (1963–1974), one of the most influential publishers of the American avant-garde, and later directed Unpublished Editions and Printed Editions. This volume brings together poems published between 1961 and 1986 in various avant-garde magazines and publications, as well as in the author's earlier books, and is the result of decades of poetic experimentation within the framework of Fluxus and intermedia practices. Produced by the Institute for Publishing Arts, with design by Higgins himself. Unusual. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
