Concrete Poetry: Tension of
Things-Words in Space-Time (A Manifesto 1956)
"Against
perspectivistic syntactic organization where words sit like "corpses at a
banquet," concrete
poetry offers a new sense of structure, capable of capturing without loss or
regression the
contemporaneous essence of poeticizable experience.
The
poetic nucleus is no longer placed in evidence by the successive and linear
chaining of verses,
but by a system of relationships and equilibriums between all parts of the poem.
Graphic-phonetic
functions-relations ("factors of proximity and likeness") and the
substantive use of
space as an element of composition maintain a simultaneous dialectic of eye and
voice, which, allied
with the ideogrammic synthesis of meaning, creates a sentient
"verbivocovisual" totality. In this way
words and experience are juxtaposed in a tight phenomenological unit impossible
before."

From Concrete to Visual Poetry - With a Glance into the Electronic
Future
By Klaus Peter Dencker. 88K.
"Concrete poetry got its
name at the beginning of the 1950s. It is a language art
form that is closed, international, and non-mimetic, proceeding from the
material
qualities of language: from the verbal, sound, and visual materiality of words.
The
graphic forms of single letters, the white space of the book page, the
constellation
of letters vis-à-vis one another, the change of reading habits, the
combinatory
possibilities of letters and words on a surface, the ignoring of syntax and
metaphor,
the free play with language material that simultaneously goes against the
literalness
of language-this calls for a wholly new reception attitude on the reader's
part. No
customary left-right reading will work, no usual sentences, no given
sequencing,
not even words that had once been complete-the reader must himself become
productive, discover constellations, determine double meanings of words,
develop his own history with the language material being offered."

"Concrete
Poetry is a certain poetry practice formulated in the 50's from Brazil and from
Switzerland,
with the following basic characteristics: .... b)
"verbivocovisual" texts, which means the organization
of a poem according to graphic criteria in order to bring out
the material aspect of the word, its
plasticity and sound - poetry to be seen and to be heard (for eye
and ear); c) partial or total elimination
of ties with speech, for a direct connection between words and
phrases; d) integration
between verbal
and non-verbal, word and image. Such practices concentrate and
expand previous proposals that were
part of the avant-garde movements of the early twentieth
century (futurism, dada, simultaneous, etc.)
reclaimed in the 50's with a constructivist rigor."

"Concrete
poetry, whether as visual poetry, sound poetry, or verbivocovisual poetry,
embodied the
striving for intermediality encountered in all of the arts, responding to and
simultaneously shaping
a contemporary sensibility that has come to thrive on the interplay of various
sign systems in art
and life, and for which the attempts at distinguishing between art and non-art
are increasingly
losing their relevance."

Poems 9K. "The term "concrete," in reference to
a
poetic form, implies that there is something tangible or solid for the reader to
observe. Concrete poetry is considered a work of graphic art because it relies upon
a visual, more than a traditional auditory, mode of presentation. The meaning of a
concrete poem is difficult to grasp without viewing its arrangement on paper because
concrete poems are a hybrid of literary and visual art."

Typography

"Visual forms- lines, colours,
proportions, etc., are just as capable
of articulation, i.e. of complex combination, as words. But the laws
that govern this sort of articulation are altogether different from the
laws of syntax that govern language. The most radical difference
is that visual forms are not discursive. They do not present their
constituents successively, but simultaneously, so that relations
determining a visual structure are grasped in one act of vision."

"During the sixties, concrete poetry had a
tendency to be pictorial, trivially self-referential, and static. Works like the
tiny masterpieces
of Emmett Williams tended to get lost in the juggernaut of poems made up of the
word "pine" typed
over and over in the shape of a Christmas tree. The tendency of visual poetry now, however, is away from
pictorial
and mimetic representations in favor of gesture, motor stimulus, gestalt, and abstract archetype. Visual poetry, whether
complex
or minimalist, has become deeper, more capable of reaching more levels of thought, perception, and action,
and, at the same
time, more oriented toward performance, public or private. This can lead to multimedia performance,
incorporating other arts,
sometimes interacting with work produced by a number of people in a cooperative or
collective effort."
