Poets Without Words is a series of short lectures on sound poetry by Galician poet Xelís de Toro, where he goes through its history and performs a few notable poems. They can be listened to in podcast form but the series benefits from being watched in order: Intro; Zaum – Russian Cubo-Futurism; Hugo Ball – Cabaret Voltaire; Marinetti – Futurism; Kurt Schwitters – Raoul Hausmann; Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven; Lettrism and Poésie Sonore: Isodore Isou and Henri Chopin; British Concrete Poetry and Bob Cobbing; Paula Claire (British Concrete Poet). The extra videos are worth checking out too.
