Description

Nicolas Calas' first collection of poems in English translation presents a unique blend of avant-garde poetics and social critique. Spanning nearly five decades, from 1933 to 1982, the poems showcase Calas' innovative style, which combines elements of Futurism, Surrealism, Trotskyism, Freudianism, and Marxism. Calas' work is characterized by its use of shock, paradox, surprise, alienation, and transformation to expose what he saw as the flaws in Western society and capitalist morality. This collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the poet's unique vision and his attempts to challenge societal norms through his writing. Through its diverse range of styles and themes, Oedipus is Innocent provides a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in poetry, politics, or social commentary.
