The first episode of Vers Univers brought typographic poems by Paul de Vree, French Vanderlinde, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Hans Jorgen Nielsen and Pierre Garnier and some theoretical texts. The first of these is a French text of Seiichi Niikuni and Pierre Garnier, 3ème Manifeste du Spatialism, where the goal of the spatialism is provided "le passage des langues nationales à une supranational et à des oeuvres qui ne sont plus traduisibles corn transmissibles sur une aire linguistique the plus and plus étendue."

By Garnier there is the text Spatiaux and Henri Chopin created a Introduction à la poesie du son. (Renaat Ramon)
