He was especially known for "Greguerías" - a short form of poetry that roughly corresponds to the one-liner in comedy. The Gregueria is especially able to grant a new and often humorous perspective. Serna published over 90 works in all literary genres. In 1933, he was invited to Buenos Aires. He stayed there during the Spanish Civil War and the following Franco regime. He died in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1963.Some sample Greguerias:El par de huevos que nos tomamos parece que son gemelos, y no son ni primos terceros.Translation:The pair of eggs we got look like identical twins, and they're not even third cousins. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

 Item
Identifier: CC-16321-16671
Scope and Contents

Mirella Bentivoglio comments that the works of Di Sarro (1941-1979), who was a doctor, should be considered as precursors to art as writing, a tendency which developed in Rome in the sixties in the work of Emilio Villa, Marco Balzarro, and Luciano Cattania. She adds that this was followed by the well known Roman tendency of sign-abstraction, "impersonated" by Capagrossi, Novelli, and Twombly. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

He worked as an art teacher, muralist and theatrical scene painter (experiences which are reflected in novels such as "Lanark" and "1982, Janine"), and his illustrations for his own books (as well as his bold use of typography) form a crucial part of their unique appeal. In the early seventies, Gray attended an informal writers' group run by Philip Hobsbaum, along with James Kelman, Tom Leonard, Liz Lochhead, Agnes Owens and others.
