AMY BOUD AT NORTH WALNEY: PLACE INTO SOUND INTO POETRY

The North Walney group's latest visit to the beach with Amy yielded a collection of sounds which the boys and girls translated into phonetically-spelled words.  These formed a reservoir of material for Sound poetry, some of which was recorded ( see earlier post) and some of which fed into these  text pieces, which can be read as sound poetry and appreciated as visual material.  Compare them to Schwitters' Score for his Ursonata, or perhaps they remind you  of pre-digital fanzine layout, or (if you're old enough) the typed text on telegrams.


The boys and girls will be bringing these messages from the beach to the Merzbarn next week, to record and perform in Schwitters' studio.
