Haroldo de Campos
This book is based on a series of papers that were presented at conferences at Oxford and Yale universities in honour of Haroldo de Campos as a poet, critic and translator. It is important for its critical focus on the concrete aesthetic in prose and poetry as well as the close-up of Haroldo de Campos by major names in international literary studies. A founder of the movement of concrete poetry in Brazil in the 1950s, Haroldo de Campos (1929-2003) was a distinguished essayist, translator, and theorist. Nicknamed by German semiotician Max Bense the locomotive of Sao Paulo, Campos's influence has been profound. He changed the course of Brazilian literature and Portuguese language poetry in over fifty years of devotion to their international and comparative dimensions. Caetano Veloso alludes to Campos in his songs, the Tropicalia movement made him known to an entire new generation, and the writing of poetry in Brazil came to reflect concrete techniques and materials."
Seven Faces
"Study of Brazilian poetry from 1950-90 examines its 'seven faces' (a pun on Drummond's poem of the same name), phases, and trends. Introductory chapter reviews movement's initial phases and sets the stage for what follows: the legacy of the Modernist movement. Chapters 2-6 cover Concrete poetry and other vanguard groups, the lyricism of popular music, and different types of 1970s youth poetry. Also examines social and esthetic tensions in contemporary Brazilian poetry"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
Reading Visual Poetry
Visual poetry can be defined as poetry that is meant to be seen. Combining painting and poetry, it attempts to synthesize the principles underlying each discipline. Visual poems are immediately recognizable by their refusal to adhere to a rectilinear grid and by their tendency to flout their plasticity. In contrast to traditional poetry, they are conceived not only as literary works but also as works of art. Although they continue to provide visual cues that aid in deciphering the text, they function simultaneously as visual compositions. Whether the visual elements form a rudimentary pattern or whether they constitute a highly sophisticated design, they transform the poem into a picture. Re...
