concrete poetry
Concrete poetry is a form of poetry where the visual arrangement of words on the page contributes to the overall meaning. Unlike traditional poetry, which focuses primarily on language and rhythm, concrete poetry emphasizes the shape and layout of the text. The words may be arranged to form images or patterns that reflect the poem's theme.
This artistic style often blurs the line between visual art and literature. E.E. Cummings and Guillaume Apollinaire are notable poets associated with this genre, using typography and spatial arrangement to enhance their poetic expression. Concrete poetry invites readers to engage with the text in a more interactive way.
