It’s not the same as having the whole work, of course, but it’s proven very useful for discussions in my experimental writing class.

I’ll be looking into the other books though. Thanks!

His Parse is another purer and more direct project, involving a self-transformation but along the lines of work that is directly appropriated, found, and retyped. I’d say that Holocaust Museum and Found Poems, originally published in 1972, are the two on my 2011 list that are the clearest cousins to “Legion.”

Found this article that in part discusses what is happening in Motes, I thought you might find it interesting too, if you haven’t already read it:
