Dyr bul shchyl from zaum box by christopher adler katelyn king
Dyr bul shchyl (Russian: Дыр бул щыл, [dɨr bul ɕːɨl]) is the earliest and most famous transrational poem by Aleksei Kruchenykh, written using the Zaum language, which, according to the author, is "more Russian national, than in all of Pushkin's poetry".
The poem was written in December 1912. This date the author then called "the time of occurrence of the phenomenon of Zaum language (i.e. the language that has no utility value), in which are written the whole independent works, and not just parts thereof (as the chorus, sound decoration, etc.)". Initiator of the creation of the work of the "unknown words" was David Burliuk. "Dyr bul shchyl" was published in January 1913 in a series of "three poems" in the Kruchenykh's book "Pomada" (English: Lipstick). According to Kruchenykh, this poem was to become much more known than him.
