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. Nancy Perloff, curator of an important concrete poetry exhibition at the Getty Research Institute, includes examples from the little-known Japanese concretists and the Wiener Gruppe - groups that, together with the Brazilian poet Augusto de Campos and the Scottish Poet Ian Hamilton Finlay, have engaged with the most subtle possibilities of language itself - while also incorporating key poems by Eugen Gomringer, Dieter Roth, Henri Chopin and others, and including contemporary contributions by Cia Rinne and Susan Howe.
