Rarefazioni e Parole in Liberta.
GOVONI, Corrado. Rarefazioni e Parole in Libertà. 50, [4] pp., illustrated throughout with various typographical elements and drawing reproductions. Folio, 320 x 245 mm., bound in publisher's printed wrappers, preserved in a new cloth folding box. Milan: [Edizione Futuriste di "Poesia"], 1915.
First edition. One of the rarer and more unusual works of Futurist poetry and typography by poet Corrado Govoni (1884-1965), who only briefly experimented with the movement. Rarefazioni e Parole in Libertà emphasizes Futurism's interest in the freedom of childhood with its mixture of the usual typographical elements in concert with naive illustrations throughout. The result is both charming and arresting.
An exceptionally fine copy.
