Reviews

""Bessa persuasively situates the Noigandres group--the missing link between Modernism and the poetics of our digital age--within an artistic and philosophical lineage. Providing an accessible and incisive summary of the theoretical background and the particular cultural conditions of post-war Brazil, Bessa's book is the ideal guide for understanding this novel, challenging, and important poetry.""---Craig Dworkin, author of The Sound of Thinking: A Listener's Companion to Conceptual Music ""Bessa renews our understanding of the Noigandres poets. His readings, with an eye on contemporary concerns, will introduce the movement to new generation of scholars.""---Marília Librandi, author of Writing by Ear: Clarice Lispector and the Aural Novel
