poets and literary critics, best known as the prime movers in the creation of Brazilian
concrete poetry in the 1950s.
Together with the poets Décio Pignatari and Ferreira Gullar, the Campos brothers launched the first exposition of concrete poetry in 1956 and published the avant-garde art and poetry magazines Noigandres and Invenção. Concrete poetry attempts to move away from a purely verbal concept of verse toward what its proponents call “verbivocovisual expression,” incorporating geometric and graphic elements into the poetic act or process. Their experiments have included the use of ideograms as a substitute for verbal forms, the concept of a poem as a “layout” of black on white (or vice versa), and the attempt to create poems as objects to be seen and handled as well as heard or read.
The Campos brothers and Pignatari published
Teoria da poesia concreta in 1965. Haroldo and Augusto were also both known as translators; between them they translated into Portuguese works of Ezra Pound (1960), E.E. Cummings (1960),
James Joyce (1962),
Stéphane Mallarmé (1970), and Vladimir Mayakovsky (1967).
Haroldo de Campos also published some of his essays in
Metalinguagem (1967; “Metalanguage”) and
A arte no horizonte do provável (1969; “Art on the Horizon of the Probable”). Other critical works of Haroldo's include the books
Ideograma (1977) and
Deus e o Diabo no Fausto de Goethe (1981; “God and the Devil in Goethe's Faust”) and several essays on the works of Oswald de Andrade, an earlier Brazilian poet. Haroldo wrote poetry of his own, including the prose poem
Galáxias (1984; “Galaxies”). Some of his poetry was collected in
Os melhores poemas de Haroldo de Campos (1992; “The Best Poems of Haroldo de Campos”). Augusto's poem collections include
Linguaviagem (1967; “Languagetravel”),
Poemóbiles (1974),
Caixa preta (1975; “Black Box”), and
Ex poemas (1985).
