of using three or four colors and 20 fonts in a poem. He built his poems as collages,
cutting numbers and letters from newspapers as well as drawing some elements.
He helped other artists to see typography as an art in its own right,
and words as material things with a dynamism all their own.]

trying to enlighten me— to coax me away from the reflexive fears and hang-ups
that always keep me stiff and constricted. I recalled The Dharma Bums that
Jack Kerouac had a similar experience climbing the Sierra Nevada with Gary Snyder.]
