The first fullscale English translation of one of Brazil'sand the world'smost influential avantgarde literary voicesA generous introduction to one of the key literary figures to emerge from Brazil in the second half of the twentieth century, this book offers Englishspeaking readers an ample selection of this prodigious writer's celebrated poetry and widely influential critical work. As a poet and as a cofounder of the renowned group Noigandres, Haroldo de Campos has made a unique and substantial contribution to the theory and practice of experimental writing, particularly the form known as concrete poetry, and to the Latin American avantgarde as a whole. These contributions, acclaimed worldwide by figures such as Umberto Eco, Jacques Derrida, Octavio Paz, and Guillermo Cabrera Infante, can be observed unfolding here, first in poetry selections ranging from de Campos' early work before concretism through his most recent production; then in theoretical texts that trace his evolution as a critic from an early interest in baroque and modernist writers to his development of an innovative model for reading, translating, and writing. This second, critical section of the book includes de Campos' encounters with the tasks of translating and reading some of the most important texts of Eastern and Western culturefrom Ecclesiastes to the No play Hagoromo, from Dante to Pazthus charting a genealogy of modern literature.Together, these poems and critical writings afford Englishspeaking readers their first sustained exposure to a unique personality within the international avantgarde, a writer described by Brazilian poet Joo Cabral de Melo Neto as 'that wonderful thing: / a poet and a translator who came to literature armed with an enviable / knowledge of the literary phenomenon.'
