an anthology of concrete poetry
out of print, 1967.
first american anthology to focus on the international movement of concrete poetry, "which began in the early 50s, taking shape in parallel form in brazil, sweden, iceland, germany and austria.
sourcing from seventy-seven poets from twenty countries, this anthology of over 300 selections of concrete poetry stands out in its scope—in part due to its assembly by emmett williams, a founder of the poetic movement. the international array of languages is supplemented by clear-cut explanations and translations. the typographical poems impart an engagingly mysterious insight into the inner workings of language through the intersection of its sonic and graphic components."
