  1. ”Experiments” were collated as part of the St Mark’s Poetry Group in New York.  The list first appeared in the June 1978 issue of L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E magazine, the complete archive of which can be found at the Eclipse website.  The experiments also feature in the anthology of articles, The L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E Book.
