This book reprints, in dazzling, different, typographical layouts, film scripts and criticisms by avant garde writers and poets of the 20th century.

Typewriter poetry is present on the film scenario of Fortunato Depero and sound poetry in the script by Francois Dufrene. Picture poems are depicted in the Fluxus film scripts by Robert Filliou and George Brecht. Villegle's script includes his typical ideograms. Lawrence Weiner's script is uncharacteristically dense in content and more visual/verbal than his usual works. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents Dr. Bohn writes that this "study seeks to analyze Guillaume Apollinaire's literary and artistic reception by members of the European and American avant-gardes during the early twentieth century...tracing the impact of Apollinaire's ideas as they radiated outward in increasingly larger circles from Paris...limiting the period to 1920 in Europe and 1930 in Latin America...and restricting the study to the avant garde of the major European and American nations."Bohn reviews the close relation and influence of Apollinaire to Mario de Zayas, his "calligrammes" or concrete poems as they would be denoted today, in the periodical, 291. Further, he points out that Apollinaire was first recognized in America because of 291. This book is heavily slanted to the influence of Apollinaire on Spanish and Latin American poets. Indeed, Bohn lucidly reviews the works of some obscure (to Americans) Latin American visual poets like the Mexican, Juan Tablada. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth...

The dust jacket states,"This book focuses on the printed work of avant-garde artistic movements such as Cubism, Expressionism, Futurism, Dadaism, Constructivism and Surrealism. Avant-garde artists and writers published their own manifestos, poetry magazines and books, and created new genres such as the artist's book and the photo-book. Printed works were easy to distribute and helped to disseminate avant-garde ideas internationally. Around 30 cities of particular importance to the avant-garde are featured, and their artists and contributions are described in depth." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
