WILLIAMS, EMMETT.

An Opera.

N.p., n.d.. Printed scroll of 3 conjoined sheets of buff-colored laid stock, rolled as issued. 1774x 98 mm. (ca. 69 5/8 x 3 7/8 inches). "'An Opera,' like 'alphabet poem,' was included in most assemblings of 'Fluxus 1' and 'Fluxkit.' It was also distributed as an individual Fluxus Edition" (Jon Hendricks, in Fluxus Codex). As with "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz [Alphabet Poem,' there is no credit to Williams, nor any publication information printed on the scroll. A sex fantasy, "An Opera" is a frantic comic dialogue about letter forms, set somewhere near the intersection of concrete poetry and erotica. A fine copy.
