Bureau of Public Secrets Turns 10

Kenneth Knabb’s web-site the Bureau of Public Secrets just turn 10. Bopsecrets is one of the best sites on the internet. It includes the complete text of his Situationist International Anthology which collects many of the major Situationist texts including a number from the May 1968 uprising in France. Also found on the site is the Kenneth Rexroth Archive. Rexroth has influenced my thinking enormously. The archive includes the complete text of his book on the libertarian tradition Communalism which helped shape my politics; selections from Rexroth’s extensive translations of Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, French, Japanese and Chinese poetry; and many of Rexroth’s own poems. The site also contains a number of Rexroth’s essays and literary criticism including his previously uncollected newspaper columns.

The site also collects a lot of wonderful radical texts and also including Knabb’s own writings, and some random comics suffering from détournement.
