A Journey Through Words and Images
Concrete poetry, a genre of poetry that emphasizes the visual and spatial qualities of words, emerged in the post-war period as a radical departure from traditional literary forms. Blending visual art and literature, concrete poetry challenged conventional notions of the written word, inviting readers to engage with language in new and innovative ways.
This volume explores the dynamic relationship between concrete poetry, post-war modernism, and public art. Featuring a diverse range of works from around the world, it examines how concrete poets and artists have utilized public spaces to create immersive and thought-provoking experiences that challenge our understanding of language and the built environment.

Through stunning images and insightful essays, the book traces the evolution of concrete poetry from its early experiments in the 1950s to its contemporary manifestations.

Beyond the gallery walls, the book explores the ways in which concrete poetry has been incorporated into public art projects, transforming urban landscapes into vibrant canvases of words and images. From the monumental sculptures of Richard Serra to the interactive installations of Jenny Holzer, public art has provided a unique platform for concrete poets to engage with a wider audience and explore the transformative power of language in the public realm.
This book is a valuable resource for scholars, artists, and anyone interested in the intersection of art, literature, and public space.
