“Well yes hmm yes”: World Literature Contexts of Lajos Kassák’s poem The Horse Dies the Birds Fly off

Summary/Abstract: Lajos Kassák’s major poem, The Horse Dies the Birds Fly off was usually interpreted in the context of other long size poems of world literature, written by Blaise Cendrars, Guillaume Apollinaire and others. The author of the article argues that other possible relevant contexts of the poem emerge when examining pieces of poetry published in Kassák’s journals – shorter dadaist poems by Cendrars or Schwitters that does not stand out with their size. Following the ethnographic sources of Cendrars’s dada poetry, the author highlights possible similarities between the functioning of Kassák’s and Cendrars’s texts when using seemingly exotic linguistic material.
