He began a life-long concern with non-linear poetic forms in 1966, with a series of polylinear poems called Word Nets. By 1968 this concern had evolved into an ongoing series of Diagram Poems, which continues to the present. The diagrams began as an effort to support word clusters, by analogy to the musical concept of tone clusters; because the juxtaposition of words in a cluster disrupted syntax, an alternate channel was necessary for syntax. The diagram concept has provided a rich ground for experimentation with structural concepts not present in ordinary syntax, including null relationships, feedback loops, and interior links. This body of works includes Diagrams Series 3 and Diagrams Series 4, ad hoc circulations published by the author using a computer. Diagrams Series 4 is available online electronically without manufacture through The ArtCom Electronic Network on The WELL, Sausalito, California, with access via CompuServe's packet switching network.
He has lived since 1974 in a stone house built in the late 18th century in Grindstone, Pennsylvania, with his wife and co-experimenter, the painter Mary Jean Kenton.
