unsized waterleaf

soaking molds

press'd between felts

in absolumidity,

muttonthumping skins

bound for skipping school

& roughcut trimmings,

print's gasblack

or almost pure carbon

sooting pastepattern

tipp'd in w/ transparency

indexing all inlay,

open warbles to slaughter

on backbone broken spine

w/ grubby dermis-devils

fatiguing scud to faults,

mend of edge

torn thru excess,

only cuttlebone.

Anonym sa...: always been fond of George Oppen's nailed to wood fragment writing...

Nailed Daybook, 1963 - 1964. 105 leaves nailed to a 14 x 9.6 cm. irregular rectangular piece of pine board; the leaves consist almost entirely of white typing paper (without letterhead) and foolscap. A few sheets of lined theme book paper and onion-skin paper are included also. Ca. 1963-1964 (according to GO's references to being 55 years old and to the assasination of John Kennedy).

troylloyd sa...: hey Nico

wow! thanx for the info, i've never heard/read about the Nailed Daybook -- that's such a brilliant concept typing-paper leaves back to its roots! BTW, ironically, the vizpiece i posted here was staple-gunned to a tree inna friends backyard, it was there about 2 months & finally came off to ground, nibbled by squirrels who were perhaps angry i had placed this obstruction upon their treehome.

i have read about Oppen's editing habit of pasting strip upon strip in his work, so alotta of his working papers ended up having a tremendous topography, gluing cut-out edit-words piling & piling.

thanx for commmenting.; 14 november, 2008 00:01
