Much of his later work was done in collaboration with his second wife, Anne Tardos. Among his other collaborators was La Monte Young with whom he published the legendary book An Anthology (which included contributions from George Brecht, Claus Bremer, Earle Brown, Joseph Byrd, John Cage, David Degener, Walter De Maria, Henry Flynt, Yoko Ono, Dick Higgins, Toshi Ichiyanagi, Terry Jennings, Dennis, Ding Dong, Ray Johnson, Jackson Mac Low, Richard Maxfield, Malka Safro, Simone Forti, Nam June Paik, Terry Riley, Diter Rot, James Waring, Emmett Williams, Christian Wolff, and La Monte Young).

Among the contributors to this was Sten Hanson who has stated that Mac Low is his favorite poet [see the track "That Jackson Is My Favourite Poet" on the CD Text-Sounds Gems & Trinkets].
