More Futurist poems that I fail to grasp, but this time they are in Russian (among other languages). Like the other Futurist poems we have read, I find the structure interesting. The way the placement of words is played with is very interesting. I still have trouble with the actual writings. I find these a little easier to understand than the Italian ones, but not by much. But in reading "Zaum: The Transrational Poetry of Russian Futurism" it seems that Kruchonykh wanted that mystery. He liked the fact that people had a hard time deciphering his poetry. Maybe that is the point of Futurism.
