“If I looked at some of these pieces as if this project was not spoken-word but just short anthology, I probably would have fussed with some of the sentences, you know? Syllabication and prosody and such crap. Because the printed word is etched in stone. But for reading purposes I accepted this book of texts in the manner in which I wrote them, no need to fuss. Most of the shorter stuff was written as poetry. Meaning lots of white space on the page.” IfsKnowsNeedsBookPurposeReadingStuffSpaceWhitePiecesWrittenProjectsPagesStonesSentencesAcceptedCrapPrintedSpoken WordAnthologyPrinted WordWhite SpaceProsody Author:Richard Meltzer
“No matter what, I'm never going to get an anthology from an actual publisher, though I could always score another music anthology. But if this is going to be a document of a multiplicity of my writings, it'll do. It feels like a birthday party or something.” IfsFeelsWritingMatterPartyNo Matter WhatScoreDocumentsPublishersMultiplicityAnthologyBirthday Party Author:Richard Meltzer
