Description: "Motivated by the contrastng feelngs he felt from his recent marrage to Alison Knowles as well as his brother's untimely death in the civil war-torn Congo, Dck Higgins wrote [A Book About Love & War & Death] over the course of a decade from 1960-1970. The complete book is organized in five cantos that break down into chapters. [Nova Broadcast No. 3 features Canto 2 and 3]. Higgins approaches the writing style for this book in opposition to the lyrical and concrete poetry of te late 1950's to embrace a more conceptual literary style. A chance system and dice in conjunction with an English-Indonesian dictionary also play a key determining role in the creation of content for this book"--Printedmatter.org (accessed October 30, 2013).
