Tysiacha pal'to - Zhagun P.

The poetry of Pavel Jagun is fundamentally immimetic and goes back to the technique of Dadaist collage, automatic writing of surrealists and experiments in electronic music. In the new book, the title of which ironically refers to the famous treatise Delose/Guattari, Jagun develops a serial, aleatoric method designed to expose the poetic machinery. Poems here abandon the usual composition and sequence sweep, presenting, thanks to mixing and glytch (error, program failure), a kind of parasemantic reesema, growing between the reader and the text. For this is the only way, according to the author, that modernity can be imagined - this multiplied continuous stream of unfortenced meanings. Pavel Jagun (b. 1954) is a poet, composer, artist, one of the founders of the Russian electronic avant-garde, organizer of the annual international festival of sound art and contemporary poetry "Poetronica". He is the author of the poetic books "Radiolyaria" (2007), "IN4" (2008), "Scarlet Letter of Speed" (2009), "Carte Blanche" (2010), as well as the text-transformer "Dust Of Caliostro" (shortlist of the Andrei White Prize, 2009).
