Synopsis

Discover how poetry becomes visible art on the page. Learn how form, space, and word choice shape meaning as you read.

This book surveys the birth and growth of concrete poetry, showing how poets use layout, typography, and visual arrangement to bring language to life. It explains key ideas like the constellation and the ideogram, and it traces how poets from Europe and South America explored new ways to connect sight, sound, and sense without relying on traditional lines or meters. The discussion emphasizes how form often drives meaning, inviting readers to participate in the experience of a poem as a visual object.

- See how the page becomes a stage for words, where space, ground, and alignment influence interpretation
- Learn about major figures and moments that shaped concrete poetry in the 1950s and beyond
- Understand how kinetic and phonetic tendencies work together with visual form
- Explore concrete poetry through examples that show how a single word or a handful of words can create a living image

Ideal for readers interested in experimental poetry, visual language, and the intersection of art and text.
