Asymmetries 1-260

"Asymmetries 1-260": I met Jackson Mac Low when he came to Baltimore with Franz Kamin, his piano teacher, to the Red Door Hall in 1978 to perform. I gave him a copy of my 1st book, "t he bk / t he referent 4 wch consists of / t he non-materialized transparent punch-outs from a letter/whatever stencil" & I showed him some of my number writing. I explained that I wrote a number sequence until I made a mistake & then I started over again. This appealed to him & he complimented the writing. On March 30, 1981, he gave me a copy of his book entitled "Asymmetries 1-260" on Dick Higgins's Printed Editions press & inscribed it to me. I was 27. These were chance-generated poems with large amounts of space in them that were meant to be performed aloud. The spaces were to be silences. The book comes with detailed instructions about how to perform the poems, starting with the "Basic Method". I decided to read them seriously but I only got through the 1st four before I gave up, defeated by the tedium &/or difficulty of doing so. Now, 44 years later, I decided to read the entire book in accordance with the Basic Method & to make a movie of my doing so. I'm 71 years old now & while I can still read & drive my eyesight has finally started to deteriorate somewhat. As one can see from watching this movie, sometimes I have to hold the book closer to my face to read it & I have difficulty seeing yellow on white. I have to clear my throat a fair amount & I read slower & more awkwardly than I prefer. I make mistakes like read "h"s as "n"s. My reading is far from its best but I consider it 'passable'. I also don't even follow the Basic Method correctly because I don't read words enclosed in "s, 's, & []s in a way similar to the way I read words in ()s. There are, probably, other incorrect procedures too. When I make mistakes & notice them, I correct them (if I can). Other mistakes stay in. As Jackson writes on page 246: "I composed Stanzas "Asymmetries" by variations of the above method, but if after I'd set a poem aside, I discovered a mistake in working it out, I usually accepted the mistake-making as an auxiliary chance operation and kept the poem, mistake and all." tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE April 4, 2025, notes
