This book is based on a series of papers that were presented at
conferences at Oxford and Yale universities in honour of Haroldo de
Campos as a poet, critic and translator. It is important for its
critical focus on the concrete aesthetic in prose and poetry as
well as the close-up of Haroldo de Campos by major names in
international literary studies. A founder of the movement of
concrete poetry in Brazil in the 1950s, Haroldo de Campos
(1929-2003) was a distinguished essayist, translator, and theorist.
Nicknamed by German semiotician Max Bense the locomotive of Sao
Paulo, Campos's influence has been profound. He changed the course
of Brazilian literature and Portuguese language poetry in over
fifty years of devotion to their international and comparative
dimensions. Caetano Veloso alludes to Campos in his songs, the
Tropicalia movement made him known to an entire new generation, and
the writing of poetry in Brazil came to reflect concrete techniques
and materials."
