Collected Poems Volume One: Cygnet Ring / Cobbing, Bob., 1977

 Item
Identifier: CC-17306-17670
Scope and Contents

This book includes poems of cut-ups begun in 1956. The method was to decide on the number of lines, clip out newspaper lines of the required number, and paste them up in an effective order to give an appearance of a conventional poem. This work antedates Gysin's 1959 cut-ups, usually attributed as the first to employ it. This book also includes cut-ups of earlier cut-ups, and permutations or mutations based on newspaper headlines but originating from phrases clipped from books. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

This cosy image was shattered in April 1974 when a group of young army officers overthrew a dictatorship which had survived for forty-eight years in a bloodless coup which came to be called the Revolution of the Flowers, with the red carnation as its symbol.'In the Introduction to this first major anthology of contemporary Portuguese poetry to be published in England, Helder Macedo, Professor of Portuguese at the University of London, relates the poetry of the last forty years to Portugal's political development and describes the variety and challenge of a tradition which has been touched again and again by history.
