Description (in English): 

A series of 17 poems written in honor of Fluxus artist, poet, printer, and musician, Dick Higgens (1938-1998) on the occasion of his death. Each poem is a mesostic built around the letters "DICK HIGGINS" using words extracted from Higgins' "foew&ombwhnw."  An concurrently published and extremely limited edition (50 copies) of Mesostics for Dick Higgins was printed under the Xerox Sutra Editions (Le Farge, Wisconsin: 1998) and distributed at Higgins' funeral.
