Christopher Knowles / Robert Wilson

You've just heard his words in Glass's opera.

Here's Christopher Knowles, if you've never heard his voice, in a YouTube clip (that had 12 hits after a month and a half up, surprisingly).

And Robert Wilson joins in.

I love my copy of Knowles' deliciously designed book from the seventies.

Some of it is concrete poetry, I suppose, but one doesn't have to necessarily rubricize it like that.

It could just be presentation.

Word collages and sound collages of a delicious ear.

Okay, the colored inks in the book are very pretty too.

Knowles is a great reader of the airwaves.

This is a fun clip.

Logic is always so deceptive, that sometimes it's good to speak it out loud.

Just to see how wobbly it really is.
