Sentences, Vol. 18 - Charles O. Hartman - Paperback - 1st pbk. ed

The child of a playfully perverse marriage of a 19th century grammar book and a contemporary computer technology, "Sentence" is a surprising lyrical romp from noted literary scholar and poet Charles O. Hartman and literary critic Hugh Kenner. Hartman took this somewhat didactic text and ran it through the Travesty computer program developed by Kenner and Joseph O'Rourke. Then, working with the Diastext program based on the "diastic" writings of Jackson Mac Low, what resulted was a wonderfully eccentric poetry resembling a cross between Gertrude Stein and Surrealist automatic writing.Hartman, Charles O. is the author of 'Sentences, Vol. 18 - Charles O. Hartman - Paperback - 1st pbk. ed' with ISBN 9781557131188 and ISBN 155713118X.
