"Zangezi", a Futurist Poem by Velimir Khlebnikov – Moscow, 1922 – Cover Design by Pyotr Miturich
Зангези [Zangezi], by Velimir Khlebnikov (Велимир Хлебников; 1885-1922). Moscow: ОГЭС, 1922. Russian.
A dramatic poem on the figure of Zangezi, a modern prophet aspiring to convey his messages to the world. The work combines elements of fantasy and mythology with philosophical ideas and is characterized by rich and complex language including wordplay, linguistic innovations, and innovative syntax. The work, printed a few weeks after Khlebnikov's death, reflects his ideas about futuristic language and his unique vision for modern poetry and literature.

Pyotr Miturich (Пётр Васильевич Митурич; 1887-1956), Khlebnikov's friend, who assisted him in editing the texts and completing the work.
