Death to Art
–by Vasilisk Gnedov
Translated by Volodymyr Bilyk
-cover by Bradley Chriss

The Poet Vasilisk Gnedov was a unique and seminal figure in the Russian Futurist movement, but remains virtually unknown in English. This double translation of Gnedov’s minimal 1913 masterpiece by the Ukranian avant-garde poet Volodymyr Bilyk, in which two translations using distinct approaches face off against each other and meet in the book’s centerfold, reveal both Gnedov’s linguistic playfulness and his previously-unnoticed interventions of the Ukrainian language into his primarily Russian texts. In these poems, language is compressed past the point which syntax or even words can support, and new crystalline units of language glisten up at us from the page. With a tipped-in biographical introduction by the translator.

30 pgs on folded 8.5”x11” + tipped-in Introduction.  Oct, A.Da. 103/A.H. 189 (2019)
$2.75 + 1.00 s/h OR TRADE, or PURCHASE AS PART OF RUSSIAN SET BELOW AT DISCOUNT!

The Russian Avant-Garde Collection: 5 Chapbook Set
–by Gleb Kolomiets, Denis Beznesov, Vasilisk Gnedov, Volodymyr Bilyk, Inna Kirillova, & others.
 


Over the past decade, mOnocle-Lash’s mission has slowly but steadily encompassed the forging of alliances among the Russian-speaking avant-garde, and this specially-packaged and -priced set collects five mOnocle-Lash publications of English-language translations of Russian texts, asemia and texts written in English by Russian writers, and collaborations with Russian presses and groups, spanning the years 2013 to our very newest release, mailed together as a “boxed” set in a specially printed envelope, customized with rubber-stamps in the zaum tradition.
The set ordinarily represents $1.50 savings over all books brought separately (with the envelope tossed in). Through the end of 2019, our special promotion offers it to you AT COST for $15!

1. The Slova-Synapse Bilingual Issue, ed. Gleb Kolomiets & Olchar Lindsann (2015): The Russian journal Slova in partnership with mOnocle-Lash’s flagship occasional-periodical Synapse, with all texts presented in parallel English and Russian – 64 pages of underground poetry, art, & essays by the Russian and Anglophone avant-gardes.
