Fifty years since its first publication, The Writer, (O Escritor), originally printed by the Portuguese publishing house Moraes Editores in 1975, reprinted by Hysterical Books, is a landmark in the history of visual poetry.
 
This collection of visual poems, asemic expressions, and lettrist experiments explores what is possible when the evocative capacity of language is given expression beyond the imposition of grammatical order, social transcriptions, or cultural restrictions.
