Both Oswald and Williams incorporate avant-garde techniques from the other continent: photographic “snapshot,” ready-mades, typographic manipulation, cubism, Dada.
Starting with the 1924 “Manifesto Pau-Brasil” [“Brazilwood Manifesto”], Oswald called for a “neological” Brazilian language capable of producing poetry ready-made for export back to Europe, taking his cue from the export product for which the nation was named—brazilwood.
