 Item
Identifier: CC-28405-29648
Scope and Contents

The selected poems of Kitasano (1902-1978) reflect his range of styles, for he believed "that poetic activity consisted of more than simply writing poems. Kitasano stretched in multiple artistic directions, and at one time or another wrote stories and criticism, edited, painted, photographed, made short films, and even danced, while calling them all poetry." John Solt also writes in his introduction that Kitasano had first composed Concrete poetry as early as 1927 to 1929 as an offshoot of Futurist and Dadaist experimentation, At the request of the De Campos brothers in the 1950's, Kitasano wrote a new poem, "Monotonous Space" which was translated into English, Spanish, Portuguese and German. The illustrations are photographic reproductions of Kitasano's visual poems, and, semi-realistic and abstract line drawings. The photograph depicted on page 58 is also held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
