Acest volum se vrea a fi (este) un volum de texte încrucisate, ca meandrele soselelor mexicane, fara gropile noastre, un mic-joc de doi, picant si cu zv'c sarcastic, ca un gulas din Ardeal (nu am zis GULAG!) ...uor la lecturi (f)estivale, ca sa zic aa... de navetisti... O naveta inter-spatiala, adica între spatiile noastre carpato-v'lcene-dunarene si cele neo-mexicane, unde se pare ca avem afinitati cu exotismul cactusilor si colorismul sop'rlelor, de dorit fiind si cu ai nostri, care nu vor fi niciodata ai lor... Ceva care sa fie usor la cap si ne-greu la stomah... Ceva de noptiera, seara, ca somnifer cu efect neagresiv, o carte de recitit, pentru confort si neuitare... si a supararilor care fac bine.Pagini care dovedesc ca ardelenii se înteleg bine cu oltenii, mai ales în America de Nord.O carte ca o... bicicleta cu doi pedalisti: unul în contra-timp cu celalalt! Ne înelegem atunci c'nd ne certam! Dupa o vreme de harta, unul zice paradoxist: ¿ Pai eu ce ziceam, omule ?¿Sa fie o carte uoara, agreabila, nu prea groasa, doua registre pe acelai spirit, cum suntem....

• The best functions of the theatre are none! (but the theatre itself); • Fatal attraction theatre; • A personage has a man’s mask taped on his bottom which faces the spectators and “talks” like this; • On a cross is crucified a book, or a lamb, or a pork, other object (crucified with the legs up) [which should symbolize something]; • On stage, place some cosmic objects (for example make visible a part of the Earth, or a Lunar Base, …); • Theatre for deaf and mute people (with their International Sign Language); • Theatre for blind people (only sounds); • The difference between the place where the play is performed and the place where, in fact, it should be played. (Specify in the play: winter instead of summer, in the mountains instead of at the Sea, for example – as in paradoxism) ...

Description Details
Romance of the Three Kingdoms, written by Luo Guanzhong in the 14th century, is a historical novel set amidst the turbulent years near the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era of Chinese history, starting in 169 CE and ending with the reunification of the land in 280 CE. The story (part historical, part legend, and part myth) romanticizes and dramatizes the lives of feudal lords and their retainers, who tried to replace the dwindling Han Dynasty or restore it. While the novel actually follows literally hundreds of characters, the focus is mainly on the three power blocs that emerged from the remnants of the Han Dynasty, and would eventually form the three states of Cao Wei, Shu Han, and Eastern Wu. The novel deals with the plots, personal and army battles, intrigues, and struggles of these states to achieve dominance for almost 100 years. This novel also gives readers a sense of how the Chinese view their history in a cyclical lens. The famous opening lines of the novel (as added by Mao Lun and his son Mao Zonggang) summarize this view: It is a general truism of this world that anything long divided will surely unite...

I left the totalitarianism and emigrated to the united states for the freedom: Therefore, don't force any literary rules on me! Or, if you do, I'll certainly encroach upon them. I'm not a poet, that's why I write poetry. I'm an anti-poet or non-poet. I thus came to America to re-build the statue of Liberty of the Verse, delivered from the tyranny of the classic and its dogma. I allowed any boldness, anti-literature and its literature flexible forms fixed, or the live face of the death! style of the non-style, poems without verse (because poems don't mean words), dumb poems with loud voice, poems without poems (because the notion of "poem" doesn't match any definition found in dictionaries or encyclopedias)-poems which exist by their absence, after-war literature: pages and pages bombed by filthiness, triteness, and non- poetically, paralinguistic verse (only!): graphics, lyrical portraits, drawings, drafts, non-words and non-sentence poems very upset free verse and trivial hermetic verse intelligible unintelligible language, unsolved and open problems of mathematics like very nice poems of the spirit-we must scientificize the art ...

Etymologically, aphorism + floral = aph(L)orism, which is a short reflection written on a floral design, or a short poetry accompanied by an artistic background. They are colorful contemplations. Maximus in minimis (Lat.) means very much in very little [max in min], or condensed thought, or ideating essence. They are actually maxims, adages, sayings mostly in one line (uni-stich) with a title, as a metaphoric statement, a breathing momentum that oils our soul....

The whole paradoxist distich should be as a geometric unitary parabola, hyperbola, ellipse at the borders between art, philosophy, rebus, and mathematics – which exist in complementariness. The School of Paradoxist Literature, which evolved around 1980s, continues through these bi-verses closed in a new lyric exact formula, but with an opening to essence. For this kind of procedural poems one can elaborate mathematical algorithms and implement them in a computer: but, it is preferable a machine with … soul!...
