!!!Konkrete Poesie

Concrete Poetry, movement within modern poetry which uses the 
phonetic, visual, and acoustic dimensions of language as a literary 
medium. These so-called material characteristics of language are also 
used artistically by means of various techniques such as montage, 
variation, isolation, sequence, and repetition, the permutation of 
words, syllables, or morphemes, the graphic arrangement of the text, 
and the reading aloud of the poem. Concrete poetry developed in the 
mid-1950s. The most important representatives of this genre in Austria 
are E.  Jandl, the members of the  Wiener Gruppe, Oswald  Wiener, G.  
Ruehm, and F.  Achleitner.
