Author: Pansaers, Clement
After entering the literary world under the pseudonym Julius Krekel, the Belgian poet Clément Pansaers underwent a series of revelatory events that resulted in his rebirth as a Dadaist poet writing under his own name. Pansaers went on to produce a body of poetic work that earned the admiration of everyone from Ezra Pound to Tristan Tzara.
Bar Nicanor collects all of the reborn Pansaers’ work, including the “Lent Meditations” and Apology for Laziness; the even more radical books published under the banner of Dada, such at the titular Bar Nicanor; and the posthumous I Blennorrhage and Programmatic Fermata for Young Orangutan. Also included are the essays he published in various journals, including “DADA and Me,” in which he signaled of the end of the Dada movement, and what remains of the novel he had been working on at the end of his life, Lamprido, based on the characters of himself and his good friend Carl Einstein.
Clément Pansaers (1885–1922) turned to poetry after abandoning his career as an Egyptologist. Despite his early death from Hodgkin’s disease, his poetry is now recognized as some of the most radical of the Dada movement.
