Dr. Barzun was born in France, where his youthful scholarly associations put him in close contact with the earliest trends in modernist poetry, art, and music in the 20th Century. He contributed to the early Dada movement through his poetry and was a friend of and collaborator with early French cubists. According to Barzun, the Orphic movement in literature relates to "Simultaneity" in art (c.1910). A good example of this movement is James Joyce's Ulysses. The text iof this book is very dense with philosophical issues but an exact definition of the Orphic movement with examples is not presented. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

In touch with yogic currents fgrom the East, Abulafia's intention was mantric, but his practice of a systemic & concrete poetry also closely resembles the 20th century Lettrisme of Isidore Isou, the asymmetries & nuclei of Jackson Mac Low & the blues Kabbalah improvisions of Jack Hirschman, all of whom he may have influenced. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
