Napoli: Edizioni Morra, 1993. In 4 (cm 22 x 31 circa), pp. 147 + (5). Brossura editoriale. Riedizione del 1993, a cura dell'editore napoletano Morra, di queste due opere di poesia visiva di Henri Chopin. "Le homard cosmographique" fu pubblicato sotto l'indicazione di "roman spatial, dernier bavard alphabetique" come numero doppio della rivista OU del 1965, "La crevette amouruse" e' del 1967. Henri Chopin (Parigi, 1922 – Norfolk, 2008), artista visivo, poeta sonoro e visuale, editore, performer, regista e promotore di iniziative artistiche indipendenti e' stato un riferimento per diverse generazioni di artisti. Alla meta' degli anni Cinquanta risalgono il suo interesse per la poesia e le prime registrazioni su un magnetofono portatile, dove gia' e' evidente l’attenzione al suono e non ai testi, avviando una sperimentazione che sostituisce alla lingua il linguaggio e alla parola la voce, per raggiungere un caleidoscopio infinito di sonorita' vocali.
