What a pity, Fiona! Given the 1918 Vicente Huidobro misspelling of
"Cowboy" in Tzara's _Dada 3_ as "Cok Boy" and Jerry Rothenberg's
marvellous use of that version in his "Cokboy" poem (final section of
_Poland 1921_), I thought "Coyboy" a lovely take-off — oddly enough, the
thought that it could be a typo never crossed my mind when the earlier
post brought news of the book's imminent release. -- Pierre

Everything that allows men to become rooted, through
values or sentiments, in _one_ time, in _one_ history, in
_one_ language, is the principle of alienation which
constitutes man as privileged in so far as he is what he is,
[...] imprisoning him in contentment with his own reality
and encouraging him to offer it as an example or impose
it as a conquering assertion. -- Maurice Blanchot
