Scope and Contents

De Campos provides notes that explain the poem. The word LIXO (garbage) is formed by repeated printing of the word luxo (luxury). "The typographical display wants to operate in a direct impact - the metamorphosis of the opposite doublet - a concrete antiadvertisement unpoetical poem - a clean ode to garbage by the poet letter collector - an opop poem." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
