Cambridge : le très étonnant poème de Koos Kombuis que les étudiants ont eu à commenter en littérature !

A poem with no words, and only punctuation, left Cambridge English university students baffled.

Cambridge University English Literature students were left shocked and baffled after opening their papers and seeing the wordless poem. One student told The Tab Cambridge "I actually felt quite flustered and panicked a little when seeing it. I initially thought it was a printing mistake."

The poem, entitled Tipp-Ex-Sonate, is by 69-year-old, South African-native Koos Kombuis and is made up entirely of punctuation.

"In fact, according to Kombuis, a long-standing anti-apartheid activist, Tipp-Ex-Sonate was a protest against censorship laws imposed during white minority rule. "If you know about the historical and political context you could make sense of it as an inability to use a language that's tainted by apartheid," says Ford. But assuming undergraduates did not have access to an internet connection, it would be difficult for them to work out the poem's intended meaning, he adds."
