We are pleased to announce that the world-renowned Ruth and Marvin Sackner Archive of Concrete and Visual Poetry is now housed at the University of Iowa Libraries. For full information, see this press release:
On a personal note—the 1996 ARLIS/NA conference in Miami Beach offered a tour of the Sackner collection. To my lasting regret, I had to miss the tour because I was chairing the Cataloging Advisory Committee, which met at the same time.
Now, 23 years later, the collection is located a few feet from my office door!
Greetings to all
Tim
