Poetry. Jackson Mac Low's REPRESENTATIVE WORKS: 1938-1985 is a compilation that follows the work of American experimentalism through one of its strongest arrangers. Mac Low, a proponent of "systems of chance," treated chance and choice as equal-handed characters in the making of poetry. Despite his intentional steering toward randomness, Mac Low's poetry "always has a remarkable compassion and humor...just as there are ways of jumping off or in or on."—Robert Creeley Mac Low writes attentively and "his poetry, even though it looks like it, is poetry."—John Cage
