Talk:Concrete poetry

message: Is there a word (an ism of some sort) that expresses the role that the arrangement of words on a page plays in the meaning of the written sentence or phrase? I am sure one exists, but I cannot remember what it is. It might be releveant to mention it here, if anyone can tell me what the hell it is. Really I am just hoping you can sate my own curiosity!

replies: text:  Probably your doubts come from the fact that the pictures show examples of visual poetry (this is not the same as concrete poetry) and examples of haptic poetry. The text itself does not speak directly about concrete poetry.  Szwedkowski (talk) 23:15, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Terminology 

message: This article seems to over-emphasize Brazil's role in the development of the concrete poetry movement.  As I understand it, European statements and manifestos on the topic predated those of the Brazilian Noigandres by a couple of years.  If I have occasion to do some more thorough research, I'll try to fill in a bit of the history.  But I welcome anyone to beat me to the punch.

thread_title:  Capitalization of E. E. Cummings 

message: Concrete Poetry has a venerable tradition in artistic terms and was an influential part of several key 20th century artistic tendencies (eg Fluxus, Conceptualism.) Additionally, Stephane Mallarme, the so-called 'father' of Concrete Poetry, has been an influence on artists such as Picasso, John Cage, George Brecht, La Monte Young, Marcel Broodthaers, Robert Morris, Vito Acconci, etc etc. I suggest the article is not merged, it merits its own entry, with clear links to other related categories.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zeneka (talk • contribs) 23:07, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging article 

message: I am not expert enough on this subject to add to the article, but there should be a section on Islamic shaped calligraphy, which accounts for a large proportion of the world's concrete poetry. Rev. H. Carlton Earwiggherd (talk) 15:59, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Concrete poetry from the middle east. 

message: Going on the remarks here, the article seems to have generated a great deal of dissatisfaction without anyone trying to address it. I am not sure that the current rewrite covers all the bases in what is a wide field, but it attempts to give the article the logical progression that it lacked formerly; to consider various definitions of concrete poetry backed by authoritative references; and to look at a few of the works resulting from the very wide interpretations of the term once it reached the English-language area.

message: Not clear to me why he has been removed. Though his poetry is rarely (if ever?) completely concrete, there are elements of concreteness in many poems. Ben Finn (talk) 09:36, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

message: This section is confused and mutually contradictory. For example, the first sentence gives "shape poetry" as a synonym for concrete poetry, but the last sentence distinguishes the two, with the latter coming before the former.Robert P. O'Shea (talk) 07:40, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
