Paul Hartal's CONCRETE POETRY

CONCRETE POETRY
A cross-pollinating creative expression, concrete poetry represents a hybrid genre that mediates between art and literature. Although they are synonymous, visual poetry and concrete poetry are not identical. This is so because visual poetry communicates by means of optical perception, by sight, whereas concrete poetry can also engage the auditory faculty of hearing, as well as the sensory capacities of touch, smell and taste.

Sound effects, for instance, can be the subject matter of works in concrete poetry. An ambient sound work, John Cage’s piece of 4’33” is a case in point. It premiered in 1952 at Woodstock, New York, as part of a recital of contemporary piano music. The performer sat at his instrument without playing a note for 273 seconds. Described as “Four and Half Minutes of Silence”, 4’33” challenges the definition of music. At the same time, it is actually about the impossibility of silence. In accordance with his Zen Buddhist philosophy, Cage neither wants to bring order out of chaos, nor to improve the process of creation. Rather, he attempts to set up a concrete metaphor that affirms the goodness of life as a purposeless play. In joyously embracing the realities of experiencing the world, Cage replaces the music in the concert hall with the sounds made by the audience.

There are other poets making image poem too.

But I thought Paul's are more concise and sharp.
