"That government is best which governs not at all; and when men are
prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they
will have." This quote from Henry David Thoreau's Essay on Civil
Disobedience is one of thirty quotations from which John Cage
created Anarchy, a book-length lecture comprising twenty mesostic
poems. Composed with the aid of a computer program to simulate the
coin toss of the I Ching, Anarchy draws on the writings of many
serious anarchists including Emma Goldman, Peter Kropotkin, and
Mario Malatesta, not so much making arguments for anarchism as
"brushing information against information," giving the very words
new combinations that de-familiarize and re-energize them. Now
widely available of the first time, Anarchy marks the culmination
of Cage's work as a poet, composer and as a thinker about
contemporary society.
