Following the completion of Spatial Poem No. 3 (Falling Event), Mieko Shiomi sent George Maciunas a list of additional contributors who had been incorporated into the project by the time Spatial Poem No. 4 (Shadow Event) launched. The letter also includes mention of the Massachusetts-based collector of Dada and Surrealist ephemera Jean Brown, who recognized the importance of Fluxus among other contemporaneous neo-avant-garde tendencies and was beginning to collect works directly from artists.
