Robert Creeley met Robert Indiana and Bill Katz in 1967. The three worked together on a portfolio entitled "Stamped Indelibly" with a group of other artists before embarking on "Numbers", the brainchild of Katz. Creeley wrote poems in response to Indiana’s earlier and now-archetypal Pop Art number paintings (based on stencil designs). In the book, the numbers one through nine are followed by zero. The sequence of the pages was thoughtfully arranged in threes so that for each number, one first reads a corresponding poem by Creeley printed on textured, oatmeal-colored paper in English and German before experiencing the jolt of seeing one of Indiana’s brightly-colored screenprints. Here are the lines from the last third of Creeley’s poem “Three.”
