From the publisher's website: Tango with Cows by Vasily Kamensky is a key artifact in the history of Russian Futurism, graphic design, visual poetry, and artists' books. Printed in Moscow in March 1914 on pentagonal sheets of floral wallpaper, all of the book's poems have a prominent visual form created entirely with typography. The most experimental works in the bookthe six so-called "ferroconcrete poems"dispense with linear order and explore the spatial possibilities of the printed page. The book also includes two illustrations by David Burliuk and one by his brother Vladimir. Most of the book is about the modern city and modern technology. There are poems about aviation (Kamensky, the first ever poet-aviator, performed exhibition flights before crashing his plane in 1912), the movies, the telephone, the circus, Moscow night clubs, roller skating, and Sergei Shchukin's collection of modern painting. The poems also make repeated references to the global tango craze of 191314. With the publication of Tango with Cows: Translation, Facsimile, and Commentary it has now been translated into English and recreated for the twenty-first century by Daniel Mellis and Eugene Ostashevsky. This is the trade edition, which includes the screen and letterpress printed translation and offset printed facsimile, housed in paper envelopes mounted to a cloth-covered portfolio; a 308-page commentary book, printed offset with a letterpress printed cover, containing seven overlays and one double-gatefold; the supplemental portfolio in a paper envelope with offset printed facsimiles of the first edition of Un coup de dés, La Prose du Transsibérien, a poster for the Russian Futurist performance in Kazan, a Russian circus poser, and a recreation of the wallpaper the book was printed on. All of the above is housed in a cloth covered slipcase. There are 375 numbered copies of the trade edition. Photographs courtesy of the publisher.…
