And it’s in this spirit that [the] work should be taken. Epochal it is, and it should serve as a preface to Porter’s uncommonly terse and and blank-filled works, whose meaning is provided primarily by the reader, but whose humour, style and general aesthetic quality are implicit in Porter’s constructions. As an example of these, we have included a small bouquet of the \u003cem\u003eFound Poems\u003c\/em\u003e (1928-   ), deliberately undated, at the end of the present edition.\u003cbr\u003eModern Culture consists of many voices in lots of rooms.
