Concrete Poetry
Concrete poetry is a form of visual poetry where the arrangement of text creates a specific shape or image that relates to the poem's theme. Unlike traditional poetry, which focuses primarily on words and their meanings, concrete poetry emphasizes the visual aspect of language, making the layout an integral part of the work.
This art form often uses typography, spacing, and font styles to enhance the reader's experience. Notable examples include works by poets like Eugen Gomringer and Ian Hamilton Finlay, who explore the relationship between language and visual representation, inviting readers to engage with the poem in a unique way.
