Condition: As New. First Edition. ~ On the back flap: "[book] represents a cross-section of my daily creative activity, showing that for me there is no difference between writing poems, essays, short stories and producing visual poems on the computer.

That's why this book is perhaps the one that best deciphers and represents me at this moment." ~ Includes, in English, "The Cryptic Eye", an approach to infopoetry, research paper presented at the three-day critical-performative symposium Yale Symphosophia on Experimental, Visual and Concrete Poetry Since 1960, Yale University, April 5-7 1995, followed by 20 cyber visual images of infopoems depicted on 10 plates in glossy paper ~ Publishers' wrappers ~ 127p ~ 29x22x2cm. ~ A bright and fresh copy, as new ~ LANGUAGE: Português & English / Concrete Poetry / Avant-garde // We accept PayPal & EU bank transfer in EUROS //.…

Condition: As New. First Edition. ~ New and definitive edition of the monumental compilation of contemporary Portuguese poetry that Melo e Castro and his wife Maria Alberta began publishing in 1959. It includes indexes of Authors and Poems, a bibliographical appendix of Authors and a general alphabetical index of Authors. The organizers state in the preface: "The Anthology we are now presenting differs substantially from the three editions of the 'Antologia da Novíssima Poesia Portuguesa' that we organized and published in 1959, 1961 and 1971. It aims to provide an overview of the fundamental texts of contemporary Portuguese poetry, from the Second World War (1939/45) to the present day. Hence the new title with which our work is presented. Therefore the criteria adopted and their justifications are somewhat different from the criteria and justifications pertinent to a possible 4th edition of the 'Antologia da Novíssima Poesia Portuguesa' - a 4th edition whose viability is hereby set aside, since the critical experience and selective work that underpinned it were the basis on which we prepared the present Anthology, once they had been duly corrected. The 'Antologia da Novíssima Poesia' was born as a generational anthology of the new generation that emerged at the beginning of the 50s. The successive editions were modified according to the evolution of the Poetry, with its new names, characteristics and problems, constituting three different synchronic perspectives. In this way, the original concept was diluted until it became meaningless today. That's why we've abandoned it in favor of an anthological idea, not generational but truly synchronic, of all the Portuguese Poetry published in the last 38 years." ~ Publishers' wrappers ~ 544+[1]p ; 527+[3]p ~ 20x16x6cm. ~ A bright and fresh set, as new ~ Heavy item, circa 1.3 Kg.

~ A superbly designed and profusely illustrated catalog of the exhibition held at the Museum of Contemporary Art of the Serralves Foundation, Porto, Portugal, from February 10 to April 30, 2006. This retrospective brought together for the first time, an outstanding selection of E. M. de Melo e Castro's work, representing almost 50 years during which this poet and visual artist has combined the word and the image making them inseparable in a permanent research of the possibilities and limits of the work of art. Always seeking to do what has not yet been done, his work peruses the sign, the object and the creative process in the way of how technology redefines communication and meaning in contemporary life, permeating the experience of new paths (ranging from concrete and experimental poetry to infopoetry and video poetry, and culminating into the generation of poetical fractal imagery) with very significant theoretical reflections ~ Bilingual English and Portuguese text, translation into English by John Havelda and Sofia Gomes ~ Publishers' wrappers ~ 303p ~ 32x21x3cm. ~ A beautiful copy and close to new condition ~ Heavy and oversized item.

[Portugal: self-published], 1962. Square sheet of text to recto and verso, measuring 20 × 20 cm, with eight increasingly narrow leaves or strips of text on top, on green and white stock of light green and white. About very good. Concrete poetry artist's book composed of one square sheet of text to recto and verso, with eight increasingly narrow leaves, with alternating hues of light green and white. As one leaves, the strips, they grow wider and text is arranged in dynamic layouts, producing a striking visual effect. The artist was the engineer, poet, essayist, writer and sculptor E. M. de Melo e Castro (1932-2020), who was instrumental in the development of experimental poetry in Portugal. His artistic practice was "accompanied by a systematic theorization about language and communication technologies. In his extensive work, multiple practices and experimental forms intersect: the graphic and graphic explosion that combines the fragmentation of the word with the spatialization of alphabetic writing and geometric design; the three-dimensional object-poem and the installation; the intermediate recombination of writing, sound and moving image; the performance that inscribes the author's bodily, vocal and gestural presence in social practices and communication techniques; the theorization of the poem as a device for discourse criticism in the saturated universe of the media" (Manuel Portela, "E. M. de Melo e Castro [Biografia)." As of July 2022, KVK, OCLC only show a copy in Portugal. The object is also held by the Gulbenkian Art Library.…
