Description: TE2/1978/118 DESCRIPTIONnnPoetry performances by Jackson McLow and Tom Leonard. Starts with an introduction from Bob Cobbing, standing on a stage with a large curtain behind him, (possibly the rear exhibition space) talking about emotions affecting even McLow’s systematically generated poetry. McLow begins with poems which he calls ‘gotha’ - based on Buddhist mantras, followed by other sound/phonetic poems employing the use of chance and systems to break down inferred meaning. About 18 min
