The second in a series of poetry chapbooks issued by MAF (Moscow Association of Furturists), in association with VKhUTEMAS, the art school. Aseev demanded with this work that poetry be deprived of its romantic leanings and instead adopt a philosophy of industrial and political rigor, more akin to that of Futurism generally. First edition, 16mo ( 16.5 x 13 cm); 24pp.; original printed wrappers, skilful restoration to backstrip, modern black folding chemise, a very good copy.
