's Un Coup de Des .. a poem built on intertwining layers of associations=
that stem from the disconnection (dispersion) of the words in the text. =
the effect of this poem lies in immersing yourself simultaneously in mu=
ltiple layers of meaning (being)...ambient indeed. follow this with App=
olinaire's "conversation poem" Lundi Rue Christine , which is essentially=
the literary equivalent of field recording, and you have a nice early 20=
th century (literary) introduction to microsound. =20
