Funchal. 1966. - WEAVER (Mike), DIACONO (Mario), CHOPIN (Henri), CAMPOS (Haroldo de) [PLAQUETE TRÍPTICA DE POESIA INTERNACIONAL: «WO/MAN», «IPERSCRIPTO; M'OTHER», «SOL AIR» E «GALÁXIAS»] . In: Poesia Experimental: 2.º Caderno Antológico. Funchal: A. Aragão, 1966. Org. António Aragão, E. M. de Melo e Castro e Herberto Helder. Funchal: A. Aragão / Oficinas Gráficas da Escola de Artes e Ofícios, 1966. 1 ff. tríptico (2 dobras); frente e verso; 270 mm. Triptych booklet extracted from the 2nd Anthology of Experimental Poetry (Funchal: A. Aragão, 1966), bringing together the contributions of the four invited international authors: the Englishman Mike Weaver, pioneer of British concrete poetry and editor of the magazine Form ; the Italian Mario Diacono (Rome, 1935), poet and art critic, author of hybrid and multilingual poetry; the Frenchman Henri Chopin (Paris, 1922 - 2008), one of the founders of European sound poetry, editor of the magazine OU and creator of a vast corpus of audio-poems based on the manipulation of magnetic tape and the human voice; and the Brazilian Haroldo de Campos (São Paulo, 1929 - 2003), co-founder of the Concrete Poetry movement of the Noigandres group and one of the greatest Ibero-American poets and literary theorists of the 20th century. The four pieces included in the booklet are representative of the international trends that the notebook sought to bring together with Portuguese production: Weaver's typographic visual poetry (”WO/MAN”, alternating syllables in spatial arrangement), Diacono's multilingual and intertextual poetry (”Iperscripto; M'Other”, a text with overlapping mythological, Latin, and vernacular references), Chopin's sound poetry score (”Sol Air”, with detailed phonetic notation for recording on 4-track magnetic tape), and a fragment of Haroldo de Campos's * Galáxias* , his major work in experimental prose, written between 1963 and 1976, in a stream of consciousness with multiple references. An archival document of paramount importance for the history of international experimental poetry. Very rare. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
