No.11 of the TYPEWRITTEN series: Barcode Poems by Kyle Flemmer, Canada.
This book contains 22 barcode poems and two printer’s summaries.
 
Kyle’s statement: “Riffing on company slogans, song lyrics, protest chants, and writing advice, Barcode Poems takes up the complicated relationship between art and commerce. Though made on a 1940 Remington Rand Deluxe Model 5 typewriter, these poems masquerade as the hallmark of digitized consumerism—barcodes—to playfully critique the paradox of creativity under capitalism. Each poem comprises a 38-space line repeated fourteen times and appended with a unique serial number representing the poem’s character quantity and order in the sequence.”
