Description

Abstract:: Pitilessly parodied (Stein's copy of the book 'Death in the Afternoon' has a Hemingway inscription: 'A Bitch is a Bitch is a Bitch is a Bitch'), the famous verse "A Rose is a rose is a rose a rose," when printed in the form of a small circle on stationery or on the cover of the book 'Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas,' becomes a concrete poem avant la lettre. It was recognized as such by Augusto de Campos, who not only translated Stein and wrote poetry about her ("Gertrude is a Gertrude"). Other evidence exists in his poem "A Rosa Doente," a translation of Blake's "The Sick Rose," which was printed as a spiral of words of diminishing size as it circles in, ending in a period.; Parodiado impiedosamente (o exemplar de Stein do livro ‘Death in the Afternoon’ tem uma inscrição de Hemingway: "A Bitch is a Bitch is a Bitch is a Bitch"), o famoso verso "A Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose", quando impresso em forma de um círculo pequeno em artigos de papelaria ou na capa do livro ‘Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas’, torna-se um poema concreto avant la lettre. Ele foi reconhecido como tal por Augusto de Campos, o qual não somente traduziu Stein e escreveu poesia sobre ela ("Gertrude é uma Gertrude"). Outras evidências existem em seu poema "A Rosa Doente", uma tradução de "The Sick Rose", de Blake, que foi impresso como uma espiral de palavras diminuindo de tamanho à medida que se dirigem para dentro, até um ponto final.
