A Metaphysical Journey
Writing the Fourth Dimension
121 That the concept of ‘the fourth dimension’ played an important role in the development of modern art has become clear over the past twentyfi ve years.1 Although scholars have studied how selected artists responded to this revolutionary concept, the literary response has received relatively little attention. Since the artists and the writers were closely allied, however, one suspects the fourth dimension exerted a similar eff ect on modern lit…
The Poetics of Flight
In 1931, Marinetti published a Manifesto of Futurist Aeropoetry, in which he urged the Futurist poets to emulate the aeropainters. During the next thirteen years, he and his colleagues celebrated the advent of aviation in poem after poem, some of which were paired with Futurist paintings. Evoking the physical and psychological sensation of flying, Marinetti and his fellow poets described not only what they felt but also how it affected them. Atte…
Italian Futurist Poetry
The Rise of Surrealism. Cubism, Dada, and the Pursuit of the Marvelous
Apollinaire, Salome and the Dance of Death
In 1905, Guillaume Apollinaire published a poem in Vers et Prose entitled ‘Salomé’, which was later included in Alcools . Celebrated by the Symbolists and the Decadents, Salome had become an extremely popular character by this date, and most of the aesthetic options had already been explored. Instead of writing a pastiche, Apollinaire decided to compose a revolutionary new poem, one that would make the literary world sit up and take notice. Inspi…
The Visual Trajectory of Jose Juan Tablada
AS numerous critics have remarked, Jose Juan Tablada made several major contributions to modern poetry in Mexico. Bridging the gap between the modernista poets at the turn of the century and later writers such as the estridentistas and the Contemporaneos group, he represented a crucial link between Europe and Latin America. Although Tablada is generally credited with having introduced Latin American poets to the Japanese haiku, he was also respon…

Wittgenstein's Ladder
Gino Severini and Futurist Ideography
Discussing the role of plastic analogy in Futurist painting in 1913, Gino Severini cautioned his audience to beware of mimesis in particular. I1 ne s'agit pas de representer en vitesse, he maintained, mais la vitesse de l'automobile (It is not a question of representing a speeding automobile but rather the speed of the automobile).1 Whereas individuals such as Francesco Meriano were committed to total in their works, Severini and most of his coll…
The Aesthetics of Visual Poetry
In this, the only full-length study of the visual poetry of the early twentieth century, Willard Bohn expertly illuminates the works of Apollinaire, Josep-Maria Junow, Guillermo de Torre, and others. His fascinating aesthetic insights bring to life this elusive and often misunderstood genre. An important contribution. Highly sophisticated, the study tends to raise its reader's impression of visual poetry in the twentieth century from trivial past…
