		Mac Low said he believes he is "saving the sparks" of the creator's "spirit" when he works from inside "a book that was composed for some horrible reason." In this respect Mac Low was bearing witness to the formation of an internally resistant, self-consciously radical political logic that postdated modernism but predated the new left.
		Mac Low s work was heavily experimental and he was an advocate of chance composition, so he is often associated with composer John Cage.

	Jackson Mac Low and Andrew Levy at the Writers House
		And then, with Mac Low's final improvised commentary on "spirit" ("a word I never use," he said--whereupon we knew this was a significant occasion) we arrived at a grammatical politics of "saving," a gesture taking its meaning at least temporarily from the religious analogue.
		Mac Low told us about Forrestal (1892-1949), correctly pointing out that the Secretary was "literally mad, paranoic and extremely depressive, and ended up by throwing himself from the window of a mental hospital."<6> This capsule cold-war biography had an essential but partly hidden purpose in the Mac Low-Levy transaction.
		Mac Low is reminding us that in a sense the making of his own disjunctive style entailed something like the salvation of good mathematicians as creators of literal doomsday language machines.

	Register of Jackson Mac Low Papers - MSS 0180
		Mac Low is known to most readers as an ardent practioneer of chance operations in poetry composition, which Mac Low first experienced in the musical work of John Cage, Earle Brown, and Christian Wolff.
		Mac Low's interest in poetry as system dates from 1954, when he used a chance operation to generate the text "5 biblical poems." The poems he wrote during the previous sixteen years were more conventional expressions of the writers emotions and reflections.
		Mac Low's work tends to be progressive and constantly evolving; so many of his earlier works are accompanied by later revisions, additional performance instructions, musical scores and collaborative adaptations.

	Essay on Jackson Mac Low by Karl Young
		There is an advantage to this: Mac Low has admonished readers and performers to speak and hear words and phonemes clearly and carefully, as they would in serious speech, and to pay particular attention to their significance, no matter how unusual their configuration might initially seem.
		Mac Low could do solos too, but much of his work was oriented toward group performance, not simply as chorus, but including invention by all the performers involved.
		Mac Low's set up of the score is clear enough, but in publishing it in book form, I also color-coded each line so that it would be even easier to follow and mistakes would be less likely.

		We are sad to announce that Jackson Mac Low died this morning at 11:30 a.m.
		I remember that Jackson was at every reading by everyone and that he always sat close to the front, to the microphone, with notepad and pen in hand nodding his head, listening and writing.
		I valued the kinship I felt with Jackson, a fellow Midwesterner, who I'd identified as an independent, an 'outsider' to poetic fashion yet who attracted an international cadre of admirers and various 'schools' of poetry vying to claim him as their own.

	Science, Technology, and Poetry: Some Thoughts on Jackson Mac Low
		My understanding of the development of Jackson's poetry and other creative work is of course colored by my having only arrived on the scene in the middle of it.
		Jackson only became aware of the scientific use of Monte Carlo methods in physics from the introdcution to the RAND book, several years after his first use of chance methods in 1954-55 to write the "5 Biblical Poems".
		There was always a large tangle of wires in one corner of the house where the audio equipment lived; and he used that equipment not merely to record his performances, but, more importantly, to generate new work, either as part of performances, or for distribution.

	dbqp: visualizing poetics: The Aleatoric Mac Namu Jack Son Krsna Low
		Of all the poets who have died this year (and whom I have decided to remember), Mac Low is the least familiar to me, yet he is the only one to have an obituary written by the staff of the New York Times.
		But Mac Low wrote detailed instructions on how to perform these pieces, and these instructions allowed so much variation that each performance of a Mac Low poem (especially a performance by Mac Low himself) was a unique experience.
		To recognize Mac Low’s interest in the aleatoric, in the beauty of chance, I took his name tonight and ran it through a random text-and-image organizer.

	[Infoshop News] Jackson Mac Low, anarchist poet (1922-2004) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		During the war and into the fifties, when it ceased publication, Mac Low was one of the contributors to and editors of the NYC anarchist paper 'Why?' (later called 'Resistance').
		Mac Low was also associated with Woodstock anarchists Holley Cantine and Dachine Rainer and wrote music reviews for their periodical 'Retort.' In June 1955, Mac Low was arrested for protesting civil defense drills in City Hall Park.
		Mac Low's re-encoding of the Poundian textual (and political) economies, his application of them to broader forms of musical notation and expanded notions of prosody constitutes a "blurring" of the line between poetry and music, as the 'New York Times' put it in their Mac Low obituary.

	Constant Critic Reviews \| Joyelle McSweeney
		By mid-career, Mac Low developed his "vocabularies," in which he took the letters of friends’ names, painstakingly generated lists of anagrams, and arranged these words in elaborate free form or gridded systems which speakers, vocalists or instrumentalists could then encounter and perform.
		Mac Low, it seems, was diversifying up until to the very end of his mortal career.
		It is relieving to recall that if Mac Low anticipated or wished for good behavior from his fellow or future art travelers (and perhaps he could expect it among his friends and peers or the Cage set), he did not imagine perfect harmony.

		Mac Lown sanageneraattoreissa tämä kysymys tuottaa myös ylivertaista kauneutta, kuten oheen suomennetussa katkelmassa, jossa koodina on ensin jonkin lähdetekstin ensimmäinen sana ("silence"); sitten runon toinen ("island") ja kolmas ("Lordship"); lähdeteksti on ehtynyt sanan "praying" kohdalla.

		Soon after, I began to read Jackson Mac Low's Representative Works:1938-1985 (Roof Books) and was quite frequently as moved by his notes on "the methods used in composing and performing" his poems as I was impressed by the work itself.
		And even though, Jackson Mac Low is, in his own words, "no longer composing by chance operations," his current evocative and hauntingly beautiful work is, at least in part, informed by his years of writing dialectically between chance and choice.
		When I was inviting Jackson Mac Low to read at the Dactyl Foundation, the talk eventually turned to the problem of labels, the problem in particular of labeling what it is Jackson Mac Low does.
