Texto Poético was an artist magazine founded by Angel Cosmos and Victor Infantes and directed by Bartolomé Ferrando and Grupo Texto Poético. The magazine was in production from 1977-1989. It was published in Valencia, Spain.
Texto Poético represents a convergence with experimental poetry and conceptual art. This avant-garde magazine presented series of poetic texts and visual poems on loose sheets, housed inside a container folder. In addition to the experimental style of poetry, different materials and techniques such as collage, recycling, comics, graffiti, advertising, etc. were used for the realization of the experimental poems. The poems were authored by participants in the Grupo Texto Poético and published as a single body of work. Since the group wished to be recognized as a creative collective, and possibly as a way of undermining the traditional concept of authorship, all of the poems were published without the author's signatures.
