Visual Poetry in Václav Havel’s Work

Abstract

First, the study dedicated to the Václav Havel´s visual poetry makes a brief introduction to the topic of working methods of visual poetry, second, it focuses on Havel´s specific creative approach. Contrary to many of his contemporaries, Havel never diverted from verbal semantics towards the predominantly formal experiments. The essence of his texts lies in exploration of thought and language stereotypes, of phrases and voluble verbal vacancy.
