Anarchy

Exploring the concept of governance, this book-length lecture features twenty mesostic poems inspired by quotes from notable anarchists. John Cage employs a computer program to creatively juxtapose ideas, offering fresh interpretations rather than traditional arguments for anarchism. By blending various writings, he revitalizes the language and concepts surrounding the philosophy. Now widely accessible, this work represents the pinnacle of Cage's contributions as a poet, composer, and social thinker, reflecting on the role of government in society.
