When did "lighght" first see the light, Bob? Wasn't Ian Hamilton Finlay
doing the same thing (and more) with work coming out of the Hand&Flower
Press as early as the sixties?
I really can't see how "lighght" doesn't simply recap some of the general
tropes of the original Concrete Poetry movement.
And if it comes to creative use of mis-spellings, what about Edwin Morgan's
"Interferences"?
