Giovanna Sandri Giovanna Sandri was born in Rome where she still lives and works. These poems are from the collection From K to S. Ark of the Asymmetric, OOLP (Out of London Press). Sandri's first book, Capitolo Zero (Rome, Lerici, 1969) signaled her presence as a vital part of the Italian avant-garde. Her visual/language works have appeared in numerous Italian and international shows. Working Notes, Giovanna Sandri: Not experimentation with new techniques, but complete adherence of the word to the images in which the tesserae/ nuclei cross the white space of poetry. . . .The materials are presented graphically so as to enhance their fragmentary nature, or in varied open forms so that the sign/word can couple with the sign/form (black poem over white poem). The English version is often a mirror image of the Italian text. go to this issue's table of contents
