Third International Anthology on Paradoxism (paradoxist distichs, tautological distichs, dualistic distichs)

The paradoxism is an avant-garde literary and artistic movement set up in 1980s by Florentin Smarandache. It consists of abundance of antinomies, contradictions, antitheses, paradoxes. In 1990s he promoted new literary terms, such as: 1) The Paradoxist Distich, which is a two-line poem such that the second line contradicts the first one, but both lines form a unitary meaning defining the title. Examples: PERPETUUM MOBILE // In a stable / Instability. ENEMY // Helps you to go / Wrong. 2) The Tautological Distich, which is an apparently redundant two-line poem, but the 'redundant' lines together give a deeper meaning to the whole poem defining (or making connection with) the title. Examples: AMBITION // When I want something / I really want! PERFECTION // Better / Than better. 3) The Dualistic Distich, which is a two-line poem such that the second line is the dualistic of the first, but together they define (or make connection with) the title. Examples: CREATION // To live for dying / And die for living MULTIDISCIPLINARITY // History of art / Or the art of history In this anthology, nearly 40 poets from 15 countries are present with paradoxist/tautologic/dualistic distichs.
