Great piece on cutups, esp. Ted Berrigan.
Re. the history it might have been good to mention also Blaise Cendrars, who even before the first world war was starting to experiment with cutups of a kind. Ron Padgett, of course,  translated Cendrars, but Cendrars still may not have the recogntion as an innovator he deserves outside France. I guess, as Ron (Silliman) says, there shouldn't be too much anxiety around this, but certainly it goes a lot further back than Burroughs or Cobbing.
