A landmark anthology of Dada artist Kurt Schwitter's rejuvenating works: radical, humourous and explosively lyrical writings that embrace and undo every genre, prefiguring sound, concrete and abstract poetry, and laying the groundwork for performance art. Schwitter's passion was for juxtaposition, a breaking down of boundaries not for the sake of shock, but in the service of creative hilarity. Using visual nad verbal material drawn from teh debris of culture, Schwitters offers us a Gesamtkunstwerk for the common man.

The now classic compilation of writings by Kurt Schwitters, Dada pioneer and the inventor of Merz

Kurt Schwitters'' stated goal was to "erase the boundaries between the arts." This collection, culled from the five-volume German edition of Schwitters'' writings, introduces the total work of art that is Merz through Schwitters'' words. Included is the complete text for the "Ursonate," Schwitters'' legendary and lengthy epic of sound poetry, which, as poets, editors and translators Jerome Rothenberg and Pierre Joris comment, "is to sound poetry what Joyce''s Ulysses is to the twentieth-century novel.
