Titled works include ‘EE.’ SH.’ KILROY WAR,’ ‘ULTRA SUPER INFRA SUB,’ ‘SAGA,’ ‘the needlessness of travel,’ ‘the boredom of the motorist,’ and ‘A million dollars of expletives encapsulated in epithets,’ which is the lone work printed in red. A frequent collaborator of Bob Cobbing who also was featured in the British concrete poetry anthology ‘MINDPLAY’ edited by fellow countryman John J. Sharkey.
