Stung by Salt and War

The writings of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti (1876-1944) comprise not only the manifestos of the Futurist Movement, which he himself founded, but a large variety of creative books that include epic, lyric and vers libre poetry, an -explosive- novel, words in freedom, freeword tableaux, aeropoetry and simultaneous poetry. This collection of translations is representative of Marinetti's fifty years as a writer and chronicles his entire achievement. His magisterial greatness can be identified in these early and daring avant-garde experiments in language."
