Note from the editor
Welcome to the 3rd issue of Neon Highway. It is Thursday 6th February 2003. In this issue I would primarily like to pay tribute to Bob Cobbing the sound and concrete poet who died September 29, 2002.
I never met Bob but having read his ABC in sound and read through his book Word Score Utterance Choreography in Verbal & Visual poetry, edited by Bob Cobbing and Lawrence Upton, I was extremely impressed. I also can’t avoid mentioning bob jubile and bill jubobe texts by Bob Cobbing, works of art in their own right and beautifully put together. Bob also edited And with Adrian Clarke and I would like to point out that issue 11 edited by Bob and Adrian is now available from Writers Forum press, details of which I have put at the back of this magazine under the journals section.
Robert Sheppard and Scott Thurston performed a wonderful performance of Cobbing’s work on 15th October 2002 at Edge-Hill from his ABC. I listened with great enjoyment at this wonderful display of sound text, words coming to life and resonating as if they had been discovered for the first time.
In this issue, I am very pleased to be able to publish a personal tribute to Bob by an interesting and talented poet. I would therefore like to pass you over to Scott Thurston. Thank you.
