Between 1917 and 1922, Velimir Khlebnikov composed a series of poems that treat language not as expression but as construction. Words behave like matter: they cluster, collide, and organize the world they name.

This selective volume gathers Khlebnikov's most architectonic and structurally driven works, including Government of the Globe, Perun, and later fragments. Speech appears as institution, cities become pages, and poetry operates as infrastructure rather than lyric confession.

Presented in a new English translation with introduction and notes, this edition foregrounds Khlebnikov's formal logic and acoustic precision, offering an entry point to one of the most radical poetic projects of the twentieth century.
