Composed with dry-transfer lettering instead of a typewriter, \u003ci\u003eCapitolo Zero\u003c\/i\u003e dissolves poetry into single letters and punctuation marks--the atomic particles of language--rearranging them in new combinations that preclude conventional meaning. Reading the book is a game for the eyes.\u003cbr\u003eSandri's poetry, rooted in the fractured language of Dada, straddles the line between literature and visual art. Long out of print, this reissue of \u003ci\u003eCapitolo Zero\u003c\/i\u003e embodies DABA's commitment to art, experimental writing and visual poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Daba\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781734681789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120","brand":"Giovanna Sandri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42856444068021,"sku":"9781734681789","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_cd97352f-0ce7-4c20-b3b9-d8f4b75ca8d3.jpg?v=1683039869","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/capitolo-zero-9781734681789","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
