Zaum is a label for books that foreground experimental, transrational language and form: works that break or bypass conventional semantics in favor of sound, rhythm, neologism, visual typography, and associative rather than logical meaning. Rooted in the Russian Futurist idea of "beyond-sense" language, Zaum as a genre includes poetry, hybrid prose, manifestos, and artist books that invent vocabularies, scramble grammar, use onomatopoeia and phonetic play, and treat the page as a visual and performative space. Readers can expect nonlinearity, dreamlike or mythic logic, synesthetic imagery, and texts that invite performative reading or multisensory interpretation rather than straightforward narrative comprehension. Zaum overlaps with concrete and visual poetry, sound art, and avant-garde experimentation but is distinct in its explicit focus on language as material and its political/utopian lineage—works often aim to reconfigure perception, affect, and social language through radical linguistic invention.
