Personal notes

Concrete poetry seems to be the reverse of abstraction — it’s not abstract, it’s concrete! But.... instead of having obvious apparent logical coherent meaning, it ... abstracts language? But since language itself is an abstraction, it’s not abstracting it, concrete poetry is going in the other direction, back towards the real, the non-abstract, the absolute existence of lines, of curves.

 

Sound Poetry, by the same token, drives back to the raw sonic roots of verbal communication.
