Zang Tumb Tumb.
Milan: Edizioni Futuriste di “Poesia”, 1914. 8vo. Original pink wrappers. Condition : front cover detached, backstrip chipped at extremities, ink markings on title page and upper spine. Provenance : presentation copy inscribed to the Russian Futurist poet Vadim Gabrielevich Shershenevich (sale Bloomsbury’s London 4 Nov 1993, lot 66). inscribed by the author on front free endpaper. An account of the Battle of Adrianople written as a sound poem by the founder of Italian Futurism. In addition to its avant-garde formal poetic innovations, the text also represented a unique use of creative typography that would prove influential on its own. Marinetti made an enormous impact on modern Russian poetry, and the inscription to Shershenevich probably dates from 1914 when Marinetti was visiting Russia.
