First published by the legendary Something Else Press in 1967, An Anthology of Concrete Poetry was the first American anthology on the international movement of Concrete poetry. The movement itself began in the early 1950s, in Germany--through Eugen Gomringer, who borrowed the term "concrete" from the art of his mentor, Max Bill--and in Brazil, through the Noigandres group, which included the de Campos brothers and Decio Pignatari. Over the course of the 1960s it exploded across Europe, America and Japan, as other protagonists of the movement emerged, such as Dieter Roth, yvind Fahlstr m, Ernst Jandl, bpNichol, Mary Ellen Solt, Jackson Mac Low, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Bob Cobbing, Dom Sylvester Hou dard, Pierre Garnier, Henri Chopin, Brion Gysin and Kitasono Katue. By the late 1960s, poet Jonathan Williams could proclaim: "If there is such a thing as a worldwide movement in the art of poetry, Concrete is it." The work of the 77 writers collected in this anthology varies greatly in its aims and forms, but all can be said to emphasize the visual dimension of language, manipulating individual letters and minimal semantic units to produce poems that are for contemplating as much as for reading. Emmett Williams, the book's editor, added explanatory commentary for the poems and biographies of their authors, making this volume--long out of print--the definitive anthology of this movement, which has so influenced artists and writers of subsequent generations.

Sadly, I rarely meet anyone anymore who even knows what concrete poetry is. How time flies, shit stinks, & people forget. Concrete Poetry is writing in wch the form of the text is as communicative as the words & letters of the text itself - if not more so. & this anthology was, according to the front cover, "the largest Anthology of Concrete Poetry to appear to date, and the first major one to be published in the United States."
If you like yr visual & textual stimulation intertwined cleverly into one gloriously compacted form, this is for you. If you have to watch "The X-Files" on tv 1st, uh, forget I mentioned it. There're over 300 selections in this monster from many people in many countries. This is one of the most international poetry comps you'll ever se.
