About the Author

Khlebnikov, who together with Mayakovsky was a principal figure in the Futurist group, is famous both as a poet and a utopian thinker. He is well known for his radical linguistic theories and experimentation, for his idiosyncratic theories of historical recurrence, and for his nomadic, show more nonmaterialistic life. His highly complex works, rich in meaning, include a large number of lyric poems, narrative poems, stories, and essays that, over the decades, have influenced many younger poets. Despite the enormous difficulty of translating Khlebnikov, selections from his writings have appeared in many languages. Paul Schmidt has in progress an English translation of most of his texts, so far well received. (Bowker Author Biography) show less

Dois poemas de Khlebnikov publicados em português:

Tempos-juncos
Na margem do lago,
Onde as pedras são tempo,
Onde o tempo é de pedra.
No lago da margem,
Tempos, juncos,
Na margem do lago,
Santos, juntos.

1908 ou 1909

(Tradução: Augusto de Campos e Boris Schnaiderman).


Quando morrem, os cavalos - respiram,
Quando morrem, as ervas - secam,
Quando morrem, os sóis - se apagam,
Quando morrem, os homens - cantam.

1913

(Tradução: Haroldo de Campos)
