[silence] The first mesostic?

[Marcthor97@aol.com]

hi Ben, the first mesostic was written for Edwin Denby, in 1963, but it was 
not in the mesostic format with the name running down the middle. The text is 
published in Richard Kostelanetz's book, entitled John Cage. The first two 
lines are:

rEmembering a Kay i visited you
seems noW as I write that the weather thaN was warm

The mesostic format began in 1969, as far as I am aware, with the mesostic to 
Syvilla Fort, published in Cage's book Empty Words. The 62 Mesostics Re Merce 
Cunningham are from 1970.
