Thank you Bertrand et Claudia Clavez for your posting and
reminders. I wanted to add this quote:
but, before... was the "...Pierre Larousse" really performed in
'62? I thought it wasn't even written until '65 for a ballet -
or was it just "first recorded" in '65? Just curious...
Thanks again! Now, the quote:
Dufrene: 'Since the early 1950s Wolman and I were always
together in the same fights. Wolman is the poet of the breath,
the breath that he opposed to the letter of Isou, and whose
influence was decisive for the evolution of the ultra-lettrism.
It's the breath that creates the poem: rhythm and scream, the
scream until now unexpressed in poetry; scream of joy, of love,
of anguish, of horror, of hate, but scream'.

Syntax, like government, can only be obeyed. It is therefore of no use except when you
have something particular to command such as: Go buy me a bunch of carrots. - John Cage
