CONCEPTOLOGICAL ANTIPOETRY


Book Description

ANTI-POETRY?... Something like anti-gravitation, like antimatter, like anti-art?... A hardliner into field of classical poetry? In trying of overcoming loneliness of verses, of strophes and of lines?… Poetry, as basic form of literature, must accept all its developing dimensions, of poet-o-logy, of poetry-pietism, of quasi-poetry, including those of ANTIPOETRY!... But ANTIPOETRY must be written and re-written with anti-words, with anti-syllables, with anti-letters, with anti-numbers and with anti-symbols, by creating and recreating a sum of anti-verses, of anti-lines, of anti-strophes, by turning down thus all what is known till today in classical poetry, whatever in scribes-manuscript, Gutenberg-print, or digital print of present ages… In the same time, ANTIPOETRY must induce or re-induce a feeling of anti-emotion, an anti-logical perception of poetry, of anti-allegory, of anti-metaphor, of anti-ballads, of anti-epos, of anti-epithet, of anti-hermetism, of anti-hymn content, of anti-ode sense, of anti-idyllic structure, of anti-parable form and so on… The Anti-Poet




An Antipoet’S View of the Modern World:


Book Description

Dive into the Antipoetic Realm Dr. Ruben Gonzalez uses antipoetic devices in his poems of the modern world. These poems break all the traditional rules of poetry. The raw and simple language of these poems offer a New Voice that is at times sarcastic and at times humorous, but always fresh. Here are a few tempting sample lines from some of the poetic offerings in this book: Today I am the King of my world: The remote is in my hand! Tomorrow will be another chance to change the world. All politicians have to be crooks and liars. Take it for granted that you will go to hell. Do not be afraid to dive into these mischievous poems found only in the Antipoetic World!




Many Loves and Other Plays


Book Description

For this volume, originally published in cloth in 1961, William Carlos Williams collected, and revised, four full-length plays and the libretto of an opera on George Washington.

Latin American Textualities


Book Description

Textuality is the condition in which a text is created, edited, archived, published, disseminated, and consumed. “Texts,” therefore, encompass a broad variety of artifacts: traditional printed matter such as grammar books and newspaper articles; phonographs; graphic novels; ephemera such as fashion illustrations, catalogs, and postcards; and even virtual databases and cataloging systems.\ Latin American Textualities is a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary look at textual history, textual artifacts, and digital textualities across Latin America from the colonial era to the present. Editors Heather J. Allen and Andrew R. Reynolds gather a wide range of scholars to investigate the region’s textual scholarship. Contributors offer engaging examples of not just artifacts but also the contexts in which the texts are used. Topics include Guamán Poma’s library, the effect of sound recordings on writing in Argentina, Sudamericana Publishing House’s contribution to the Latin American literary boom, and Argentine science fiction. Latin American Textualities provides new paths to reading Latin American history, culture, and literatures. Contributors: Heather J.
