Basically Adele Aldridge explores the meanings of words and plays with them through simple visual constructions of words. They made me think, and I know I will read them again and again. Perhaps one day someone else will find a little used copy and I won't be the only one on here with this. :} ( ) no reviews | add a review
Concrete poetry is usually, but not always, limited to the arrangement of letters in one word and must be seen to be understood. One can not read a visual poem to a blind person without going into a complex explanation. And if you have to explain the poem you are lost. Viewing a concrete poem is an experience of meaning that takes place between the viewer and the placement of the words, while "normal" poetry is enhanced by listening to the rhythm of the words spoken.
