The simultaneous \"mimeograph revolution\"--an emerging name for the proliferation of small, poet- and artist-operated presses and little magazines that emerged in the postwar era--meant that an extraordinary variety of experimental work appeared in ephemeral outlets, often reflecting an array of geographic influence and communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAfter Words\u003c\/i\u003e is a thematic journey through the history of these experimental poetics, including cut-up, collage, sound poetry scores, performance scripts, practices of \"writing through,\" erasure, glyph systems, calligraphy, experimental typography, non-Western alphabets, assemblages and beyond. Most importantly, it presents these works within their original contexts through photographs of page spreads from storied publications and presses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors include: \u003c\/b\u003e Mary Beach, Wallace Berman, bill bissett, William S.
