A profusely illustrated survey edited by Kostelanetz (who also contributes) dissecting the overlap of concrete and visual poetry. Designed without divider pages, the sequencing of each artist creates a new narrative not unlike that of an artists’ book.

A nice primer to concrete and visual poetry complete with an introduction by Kostelanetz and a short biography of each contributing artist.
