Idioms of 'Krete: Selections of idiomorphic concrete poetry, 2000

 Item
Identifier: CC-46317-49040
Scope and Contents

One poem is printed on each of the pages except for a few pages with brief commentary.The following text is printed on the back cover. "Literature is the only artform whose organon is already symbolic. Concrete poetry has always been devoted to the breakdown of the assumed symbolism, either to reform a new one or to celebrate raw, lingual materiality for its own sake. While one branch seeks a new understanding of what was always there through this breakdown - most evident in 'found poetry' - and this is called the 'collective branch'; the other, the ideomorphic, seeks to forever push the process into fresh and singular dislocation. Here are three poets with the latter propensity: Haiku-focused LeRoy Gorman with his constuctivist tendencies, the more sculptural Daniel f. Bradley, minimalist panache in tow and cheek and the graphically ham-fisted Marshall Hryciuk, who feels positively didactic next to the other two." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

In vino verites. And what's in beer., 1977

 Item
Identifier: CC-03792-3864
Scope and Contents This piece was depicted in Kaldron 14, 1981. Dmitri Prigov, one of the most influential poets of the post-Soviet era, died early Monday in a Moscow hospital, the RIA-Novosti news agency reported. He was 66. Prigov had been in intensive care since suffering a heart attack July 7, 2007. He and his close friend Lev Rubenstein were leaders of the so-called conceptualist school, which arose in unofficial Soviet art in the late 1960s. They were the first in Russia to see performance as a form of art. Prigov was a prolific poet and his work has been widely published since the late 1980s. He was perhaps better known in the West for his live performances, which incorporated visual and musical elements. Until he fell ill, Prigov was planning to return to the ideals of his youth and to participate in a performance where he would sit in a wardrobe as it was hauled up the 22 flights of stairs of Moscow State University, reading poems all the way to the top, The Moscow Times reported. -- Source...
