"Written during the Vietnam war, Soldier is perhaps the best-known work by the Concrete poet and editor Emmett Williams (1925-2007). The poem consists of the word "soldier" printed continuously in a column down the right-hand page, with the word "die" inside the word "soldier" gaining one line per page, printed in red. The book was originally published in 1973 by Hansjörg Mayer and Something Else Press."
"Dissatisfied with the large works in steel he had hitherto produced, in this volume (first published by TVRT in 1972) Peter Downsbrough (born 1940) set out the groundwork for what would become a minimal vocabulary, in his sculptures as in his books: the tension between two parallel lines, often coupled with isolated words, divided internally."
