For many Dadaists, including German writer Hugo Ball and New York poet and performer Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, sound poems were protestations against the sounds of war.[3] As Irene Gammel and Suzanne Zelazo write, "Born as the trench warfare intensified, phonetic poetry was the language of trauma, a new language to counter the noise of the cannons".[4] The Baroness's poem "Klink-Hratzvenga (Death-wail)", written in response to her husband's suicide after the war's end, was "a mourning song in nonsense sounds that transcended national boundaries".[5] Working from a confrontational feminist and artistic agenda, the Baroness asserted a distinctly female subjectivity in the post-World War I era.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1428.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1428.txt
