Inhaltsangabe
Now available in paperback, Concrete Poetry: A 21st-Century Anthology is the first overview of concrete poetry in many years. Selective yet wide-ranging, this anthology re-evaluates the movement, singling out its most distinctive and influential works, including the little-known Japanese concretists, the Wiener Gruppe, Augusto de Campos, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Eugen Gomringer, Dieter Roth, Henri Chopin, Cia Rinne, Susan Howe and many others. Perloff’s anthology presents individual poems, reproduced in their original languages, together with lively commentaries that explicate and contextualize the work, allowing readers to discover the intricacy of poems that some have dismissed as simple, even trivial, texts.

The term ‘concrete poetry’ refers both to a poetic genre and to the international movement that first emerged in Brazil and Austria in the early 1950s. Concrete poetry must be distinguished from visual poetry, a more general term for poems that focus primarily on the visual arrangement of language. Unlike concrete poetry, visual poetry can refer to a history as old as writing itself. In Johanna Drucker’s words, ‘Certainly the scribes who incised Egyptian hieroglyphics into the material substrate of walls and sarcophagi from about 2700 bc onward were sensitive to the visual arrangement of their signs.’
But today we understand visual poetry as a larger category that subsumes concretism. Indeed, some critics make the historical argument that the concrete poetry movement, so important in Europe, the United Kingdom and Asia from the 1950s until the 1970s, charted the territory for the visual poetry that followed it, even as concrete poetry itself fell away. An essential principle of concretism – ‘that language has a visual dimension and that the actual “look” of a poem on the page determines, at least in part, its meaning’ – became central to visual poetics as practiced in the late twentieth century and today. Typewriter art, a subset of visual poetry, creates images composed of brackets, dashes, slashes and asterisks, as well as other forms of graphic art, all by manipulating the keyboard and the typewriter roller.
At the opposite end of the spectrum from visual poetry lies the genre of sound poetry, which alters the characteristic relationship between sound and sense by ‘multiplying, reducing, or denying semantic reference, while expanding the phonetic and aural properties of language’. Although sound poetry has been present throughout the history of Western literature and has origins in the vast array of poetry, chant structures and syllabic mouthings still alive among many North American, African, Asian and Oceanic peoples, its immediate origins can be traced to the international network of the European avant-gardes.
Like concrete poetry, sound poetry is a hybrid form working across media. Yet an effective analysis of a sound poem’s text, as opposed to that of a concrete poem, must consider its realization in live performance and hence the very nature of its sounds – their intelligibility, their relation to other sounds in the poem, their use of the pronunciation of a particular spoken language, their role in articulating structure. Sound poetry does not privilege meaning, and in performance we hear its probing of the limits of referentiality.
All the poets in this anthology would no doubt agree with Rosmarie Waldrop’s basic definition, ‘Concrete poetry is a revolt against the transparency of the word.’ And it ‘is a poetry that makes the sound and shape of words its explicit field of investigation’. But, beyond such basics, what have been the defining features of concrete as put forth by the poets themselves?
