Returning, obliquely to previous thread(s), Iwe'rem still in the midst of
enjoying this:
Herbert Blau, 'Deep throat: the grail of the voice,' in Jerome Rothenberg
and David Guss, eds. _the book, spiritual instrument_, NYC: Granary Books,
1996 (but essentially a re-editioning of _New Wilderness Letter_, 11, 1982).
"In over thirty years in the theatre, I've lived through the distinction
between the [sic] literature and the performance and have also been
involved in performance which seems to have discarded the literature. But I
want to start by saying that, whatever the aesthetics, there is *no*
alternative to the text. I think that's so in the final analysis of 'the
final finding of the ear' (Stevens), the *sounding* of a text down to the
last fugitive syllable, or phoneme, when words seem to have left the page
as if there had never been any words, dematerialized in the air."
