MARQUES (José-Alberto). [PLAQUETE TRÍPTICA: «CLICHÉ 9», «DOIS FRAGMENTOS DE UMA EXPERIÂNCIA» E «HOMEÓSTATO: 1»]. Lisboa. 1966. - MARQUES (José-Alberto) [PLAQUETE TRÍPTICA: «CLICHÉ 9», «DOIS FRAGMENTOS DE UMA EXPERIÂNCIA» E «HOMEÓSTATO: 1»] . Poemas: «Cliché 9»; «Dois Fragmentos de uma Experiância» (assinalado «josé-alberto marques»); «Esqueleto-Poema-Matriz ou Fragmento de: o poema experiânsia ou o poema-experiância»; «Homeóstato: 1» (datado «março 65», dedicado «para a célia»). In: Poesia Experimental: 2.º Caderno Antológico. Lisboa, 1966. Org. António Aragão, E. M. de Melo e Castro e Herberto Helder. Lisboa: s.n., 1966. 1 ff. tríptico (2 dobras); 440×270 mm. (fechado: 270×145 mm.) Triptych booklet extracted from the 2nd Anthology Notebook of Experimental Poetry (Lisbon, 1966), organized by António Aragão, EM de Melo e Castro and Herberto Helder, exclusively bringing together texts by José-Alberto Marques (Abrantes, 1939 - 2024), poet and essayist who participated in the two anthology notebooks of Experimental Poetry (1964, 1966) and in Operação 1 (1967), and who co-organized with EM de Melo e Castro the Anthology of Concrete Poetry in Portugal (Assírio & Alvim, 1973). The chapbook presents four distinct texts. «Cliché 9» is a visual concrete poem with mirrored arrangement and rotation of phrases, exploring symmetry and inversion as semantic operators. «Two Fragments of an Experience» brings together two poems of continuous writing without spaces or punctuation, dissolving syntax into a typographically homogeneous stream of consciousness. «Skeleton-Poem-Matrix» is a theoretical-poetic text that proposes to the reader the possibility of filling in empty spaces and restructuring the poem «according to the determinants of their sensibility», anticipating the participatory and combinatorial poetics that characterizes all of Marques' work. «Homeostat: 1», dated March 1965 and dedicated «to Célia», is the first and most celebrated of his homeostats: a spatial poem in which the verse «without light. the night happens. dark womb. shadow: snow.» someone: oleu grito» fragments and disperses across the page until almost total dissolution, in a visual representation of silence and the progressive emptying of meaning. «Homeóstato: 1» was also published in Operação 1 (1967) and subsequent anthologies, becoming one of the canonical pieces of Portuguese concrete poetry. An archival document of utmost importance. Very rare. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
