Author: Sandri, GiovannaA key figure – and one of the few women – in the Italian neo-avanguardia of the 60s and 70s, Giovanna Sandri was renowned for the fearless experimentation o f her visual poetry, which has been featured in numerous Italian collections and journals. Originally published in 1969, Sandri’s first book-length work is an experiment in new reading operations. This work dissolves poetry into single letters and punctuation marks, rearranging them in new combinations that preclude conventional meaning. Reading the book is a game for the eyes. Sandri's poetry, rooted in the fractured language of Dada, straddles the line between literature and visual art. Long out of print, this reissue of Capitolo Zero embodies DABA's commitment to art, experimental writing and visual poetry.ISBN 9781734681789.
