a concrete selection
October 2008
Jeff Hilson chose some of my concrete poetry for ballast in his glittering Reality Street Book of Sonnets (for further information see realitystreet.co.uk), so I'm celebrating with this hand-picked concrete bouquet.
From Underscore, a sequence of 14 concrete sonnets, plus Glossary and Index.
Example 1 (from Pickles, Physical Geography), examples 2 and 3 (from Bold, Morphology of Plants), example 4 (from Pickles); examples 5 and 6 (from This Changing World [1945])
(Three bits of this sequence are in the aforesaid Reality St anthology, and some more are due soon in the webzine onedit.)
Quercy Sonnets: I, II (Peche-Merle) and III (Rocamadour)
From The Picture Word Book: one, two and three
These two sequences
together make up
Picture Word Book
(a pamphlet which you can buy here, though since you've just been given it, why would you bother?)
"BODY LANGUAGE" is a newsprint piece which had the distinction of being selected to appear in the non-existent second number of quiclude, a spinoff journal from the currently dormant cul de qui.
