Identifier: CC-24819-25272
Scope and Contents This issue includes a Glyn Pursglove's essay, "An Introduction to Concrete Poetry." He states "The phrase 'Concrete Poetry' is bandied about a great deal in a way which seems to suggest that all those to whom it is applied are part of a conscious, united movement, and that they are artists whose work is dictated by a set of common and explicit principles. As anyone with any understanding of artistic 'movements' will readily imagine, this is a superficial and misleading idea. Certainly there have been plenty of explicit statements by some of the poets involved but these have, naturally, attracted as many opponents as supporters. One of the most important of such statements was 'POSITION 1 of International (Movement) for Spatial Poetries" organised by, among others, Pierre Gamier. This was not quite a manifesto, in the sense of a document proclaiming plans for the future, but rather a formalisation of a situation.

Scope and Contents

Description of book from the inside dust jacket: "Liselotte Gumpel brings to her interpretation of these two strains of poetry a solid grounding in language and cultural history as well as fresh and unbiased perceptions about the poems themselves. She offers historical background, draws connections with literary concretism's antecedents in visual arts and music, and usefully applies the semiotics of Max Bense and C.S.Peirce in her descriptions of the "dicentic genres" of the East and the "rhematic connexes" of the West. Under the rubrics of teleological humanism and creative zest she explores the shaping traditions of the two movements. A chapter on significant anthologies from East and West Germany concludes her survey." The dust jacket depicts a mandala by Kriwet that Gumpel characterizes as a "Round Disc." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
