Poetry. The works of Bob Cobbing invite participation. His work: the visual, the written, the performed, -solo, duo, quartet; his voice, flexitone, bird whistle or drum accompanied, the physicality of Cobbing in performance, his expression, his mouth, his apparel are a collaboration, his perceived antennae, those who pick up his page, walk into his performance. His works invite participation of the retina, the ear canal, the lungs, the feet: anything percussive. Cobbing's concrete works undermine the meaning of meaning, bringing ever closer the day dubbed by W.S. Burroughs as "the breakthrough in the grey room."
