Boooook: The Life And Work Of Bob Cobbing

This is the first book devoted to the life and work of Bob Cobbing (1920-2002), one of the most adventuresome concrete and sound poets of the second half of the twentieth century. This publication reveals Cobbing to be not only a protean verbal artist, but equally an inspirational organiser and collaborator playing a decisive role in such important collective initiatives as abAna, the Antiuniversity, Better Books, London Filmmakers' Co-op and Writers Forum. Edited by William Cobbing and Rosie Cooper, 'Boooook' features contributions by Adrian Clarke, Arnaud Desjardin, Sanne Krogh Groth, Will Holder, Gustav Metzger, Marc Matter and Tris Vonna-Michell, Robert Sheppard, David Toop, Steve Willey, Andrew Wilson and Maxa Zoller.
