texto con text out of con texto....late 2010

surreal text is alive and well just as the equisite corpse...............
texto con text is another madcap venture into the world of random text....culled from the press....and other sources....it has its beginnings in automatic poetry.....the surrealists played many such games of chance...it is difficult not to censor.....i like the collisions of images invoked....thrown up..some will be more poetic than others...but who is to say....at the moment they are four liners...if you would like to join in then feel free to do so......charlieholtart@rocketmail.com

                                                                   

 apollinaire....breton et al......intended to free words and images from the constraints of logic and order and known sense....substituting chance instead of a predetermined outcome....chance encounters transgress deuctive laws... they transcend logic....surrealist play is more like provokative magic.......tristan tzara advocated....to make a dada poem.....take a newspaper...a pair of scissors......choose an article....cut out the article.........then cut out each word....put them in a bag......shake gently.......take out the paper individually....stick onto another peice of paper....the poem will be like you....this is a variant....using headlines...
